“Sex, Lies & Cosmetic Surgery, a Segue to Unexpected Pleasures” You are cordially invited to a FREE presentation sponsored by the Long Island Authors Group (LIAG) held at: ISLIP ARTS COUNCIL GALLERY South Shore Mall (next to Dick’s Sporting Goods) 1701 Sunrise Hwy, Bay Shore, NY 11706 631-888-3525 Lois W. Stern will present two main topics. First, she will discuss her book, Sex, Lies and Cosmetic Surgery, which offers provocative insights into the ways cosmetic surgery impacts women’s lives, exploring the common and perhaps not so common emotions involved. Second, Lois will explain how this book opened new doors in her writing journeys. She will discuss her Tales2Inspire project and how it has led to publishing a series of books where writers submit personal, motivational stories. Learn how you too can enter her annual Tales2Inspire contest, preserve your memoirs and possibly get your inspiring story published—for free. Seats are limited. RSVP to: tales2inspire2@gmail.com   Lois W. Stern
