“Amy Stewart’s recent appearance at Books & Books, in support of her newly released Flower Confidential, is still being talked about today. Her large audience made up of many prominent members of Miami’s flower industry was charmed by the disarming way she told the story of how flowers are brought to market. She’s funny, interesting, smart and not afraid to tackle any question head on; her audience ate it up. I can’t remember an event at the store when almost everyone who came bought a book. Every author should be that effective a speaker!”
