Tom Brillat, local writer and storyteller, will discuss the fascinating story behind Ekaterina that inspired his book.
She’s young, beautiful, Russian, and banished from her homeland. Across continents and immersed in strange cultures, Ekaterina confronts war, hunger, failure, death, and lost love. From one life-altering ordeal to the next, she must adapt or perish. A Tale of Historical Fiction based on a True Story.
"I knew Ekaterina. When I was old enough to understand, my grandfather's second wife told me stories about her life. Many of those anecdotes comprise scenes in my tale." - Tom Brillat
Tom trained with some of the best storytellers in the country, such as Jay O'Callahan, Doug Lipman, Pam McGrath, and Bill Harley. Comfortable in living rooms, classrooms, or auditoriums, on backyard patios, at a local park, or in the great outdoors, Tom looks forward to taking you on a journey of words. He will tap your emotions, test your imagination, offer a few surprises, engage you, and educate you.
