In Valley novelist Rebecca Kauffman’s new book, The Reservation, a restaurant erupts into chaos with the discovery that twenty-two rib eye steaks have been stolen before a high level patron’s reservation. Rebecca is our guest for Books & Brews on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at Pale Fire Brewing in Harrisonburg at 7pm. She will be joined by Virginia author Bruce Bryon who wrote a book about restaurant work. WMRA’s Chris Boros asked Rebecca about how she invents interesting characters like Aunt Orsa from her new book along with how her past work in restaurants helped shape this novel.
