Photo Round-Up: Writers On The Row

Sunday - Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis Berman, Marilyn "Maz" Rauber and Amy Reingold

Washington’s favorite cupcake-baking sisters, Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis Berman, hosted a discussion/Q&A and signed copies of their new cookbook "Sweet Celebrations: Our Favorite Recipes, Memories and Decorating Secrets that Add Sparkle to Any Occasion." The stars of TLC’s DC Cupcakes also gave out free cupcakes from their famous cupcakery, Georgetown Cupcake, during the signing. Their mother, Elaine Kallinis, was on hand to support the girls and pose for photos with fans (she is often featured on the show). Following the sweet opener, the authors behind the hit "Capital Girls by Ella Monroe," Marilyn 'Maz' Rauber and Amy Reingold, signed copies of their popular young adult books, dubbed “Gossip Girl, but Washington-ized” by WaPo, and read passages from the first book of the series. The local authors, influenced by their children and their own history living in DC, write under the pseudonym Ella Monroe about a group of young DC socialites dealing with love, betrayal and friendship, all with a political twist. Once again, hot and cold bites from Boloco were available for snacking during the event.
