Episode 43: Sober Book Club Events Happening 10/25 & 11/1 w/author Jessica Guerrieri!! (@jessicaguerrieriauthor and @lowelch)

October 13, 2025 • Kristen Bear

Hey Y'all!!

Today I have two special ladies on the show to discuss some exciting events taking place this month, one in Tampa FL on 10/25 and one in San Francisco on 11/1.

Fiction author, Jessica Guerrieri, joined me in Nashville this summer to discuss her debut novel, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Harper Muse), and the much needed update to the narrative around women and alcohol in fiction.

We had such an amazing turnout and response from the community that we've decided to take this show on the road! Lauren Welch, sober mom and entrepreneur in Tampa Bay, reached out and offered to host us at her beautiful space, Lux West Collective!

This is going to be such a beautiful evening of literature, thoughtful discussion, networking, and community. Whether you are sober/sober-curious, a book lover, a non-alcoholic beverage enthusiast, or just interested in doing something different on a Saturday evening-this is for you!

We are doing it all again the following weekend on the west coast at Ocean Plant in San Francisco. Links to tickets for both locations below!

Shoot me a message on IG @creativesobriety if you have any trouble with the links or any questions at all. Hope to see your beautiful faces!

Tampa Tix 10/25

San Francisco Tix 11/1
