For Annette Kassis, Northern California has been home for most of her life--first arriving in the Sacramento area at a very young age as a "military brat," and then returning to NorCal after attending college in Louisiana. Not content to work in one arena at a time, she combined her lengthy advertising career with a study of academic history. The result is a cultural historian who writes for a general audience, always striving to bring a copywriter's flair to her subjects and hoping to entertain as well as enlighten. This same deep-seated love of research and unearthing untold stories also informs her work in fiction. Annette appears as a commentator in the documentary films "The Sacramento Picture" and "Alhambra: Sacramento's Palace of Fantasy," She has also appeared on C-SPAN's Book TV, and has been a repeat guest on Capital Public Radio. Her recent books include "Prohibition in Sacramento: Moralizers & Bootleggers in the Wettest City in the Nation;" "Sacramento on the Air: How the McClatchy Family Revolutionized West Coast Broadcasting;" and "Weinstock's: Sacramento's Finest Department Store."
