Where once there was “a regular guy” now stands singer/songwriter/composer; pianist/guitarist; producer/host/public speaker, MARIA KONNER. Her new book, “Girl Shock!" about her journey going straight …  to trans, goes on sale at the Drama Book Shop in August and she will be there for the opening event  on Tuesday, August 29, at 7:30 p.m. to share some deeply moving – and some totally hair-raising – stories and even sing a song or two with writing partner, Jackson Sturkey.
