Everyone has a story and now it’s your chance to tell it. Every month there is a theme, hopefully that sparks a memory for you. You put your name in a hat (an actual hat!) and 10 people’s names are drawn at random. When your name is pulled you get 5 minutes to tell your personal true story. At the end of the evening everyone votes by text for their favorite story of the night. If that’s you, you get $50 and will join the other monthly winners in December for our GrandSlam at the Historic Mystic Theater. Sounds like fun, right?

Sonoma Author Rebecca Rosenberg Reveals the Tragic Truth of 1920s Starlet
2025-07-11 19:00 - 21:00
SANTA ROSA, CA – July 11, 2025 – Local Sonoma County author Rebecca Rosenberg is set to reveal the compelling, previously untold story of silent screen sensation Silver Dollar Tabor, a Jazz Age icon whose life ended in tragedy. Her new historical novel,
Silver Echoes, offers a fresh, meticulously researched perspective on Tabor’s true identity and heartbreaking demise.
Rosenberg’s research suggests Silver Dollar Tabor grappled with what is now understood as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a condition likely unrecognized in the 1920s. “Silver Dollar’s letters hint at a deeply troubled inner world, reflected in her constant changes and fragmented sense of self as she navigated a glamorous and dangerous life,” explains Rosenberg. This new insight goes beyond past sensational headlines, highlighting Tabor’s overlooked talents as a writer, silent film actress, and captivating burlesque and vaudeville performer.
Silver Echoes is garnering significant critical acclaim, earning an Editor’s Pick from Publisher’s Weekly BookLife.
BlueInk Review praises Rosenberg’s “sharp as daggers” prose, and Kirkus Review calls it a “dark, magical tale”. Booklist raves, “Readers will hang on as desperately as Silver doing her Slide for Life act”.
Rebecca Rosenberg, a Sonoma County resident for 35 years and author of seven historical novels, is renowned for bringing the compelling stories of remarkable women to life through rigorous research and evocative storytelling. Her award-winning works include Gold Digger the Remarkable Baby Doe Tabor, a two-time Gold Medal winner.
Ms. Rosenberg will be presenting Silver Echoes at Copperfield’s Books in Santa Rosa on Friday, July 11, 2025, at 7:00 PM, featuring themed “Tigerlily Cocktails and Tigerbites”.
Ms. Rosenberg’s unique research and the fascinating, tragic story of Silver Dollar Tabor would make for a compelling and timely interview for your listeners.
