Author Book Signing at Aspire Art Gallery
Featuring Warren Horton & Daphne Harris Dews
Saturday, April 4 • 12 PM

Join Aspire Art Gallery for a special dual-author book signing event featuring Norfolk native Warren Horton and Virginia Beach author Daphne Harris Dews.

Two authors. Two perspectives. One meaningful afternoon.

Warren Horton, known as “The Strategist,” focuses on financial empowerment, debt elimination, and building long-term stability. His book Lean & Green: The Strategist’s Guide to Debt-Free Living offers a practical, mindset-driven approach to taking control of your financial future.

Daphne Harris Dews, a retired educator from Norfolk Public Schools, brings a deeply personal and heartfelt perspective through her writing. Her children’s book Good Night, Sam. We Love You. highlights the importance of family connection and early learning, while her earlier work reflects life growing up in rural Virginia with honesty, warmth, and resilience.

Meet the authors, explore their work, and take home something meaningful.

Books will be available for purchase, with special event pricing.

Join us at Aspire Art Gallery on Saturday, April 4.
