Photo Flash: CULTURE & COCKTAILS Welcomes 220 To Conversation With James Patterson & Leslie Gray Streeter

Dave Lawrence, President & CEO of the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County today announced that more than 220 fans and friends attended last Monday's penultimate presentation of the 15th season of the popular series CULTURE & COCKTAILS at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach.

Leslie Gray Streeter is the pop culture columnist for The Palm Beach Post, where she has covered music, movies, celebrities, staycations and more since 2002. Her first book (Black Widow) is being published this month by Little, Brown & Company. The laugh- and tear-packed memoir details her love affair with her late husband, and surviving his sudden and tragic passing around their fifth anniversary.

James Patterson is the world's best-selling author and a major cultural philanthropist. Books by the former advertising executive have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide-including the Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club, Maximum Ride and Middle School series-and more than 100 of his titles have been New York Times bestsellers. Patterson has frequently encouraged Streeter in her writing efforts and was there to celebrate her first published book.
