Tuesday, September 8, 2026

11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

For the past four years, The Narrative Exchange founder Mandy Jackson-Beverly has welcomed bestselling and award-winning authors to her celebrated Lunch With An Author events in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Ojai.

Now, VEFA Gallery will become the Los Angeles home for this beloved series, presented under its new title: Entre Nous.

Meaning “between us,” Entre Nous captures the spirit of what these gatherings are designed to create: an intimate exchange between author and reader, story and experience, art and imagination.

This is not a traditional book signing or lecture.

Our Inaugural Guest Author

Award-winning and bestselling author Tess Gerritsen has written more than thirty novels, published in forty countries and selling over 40 million copies worldwide. Many of her books have been top-three bestsellers in the U.S. and #1 bestsellers internationally. Entres Nous celebrates the release of her new novel, The Shadow Friends.
