Hi, I’m Trudy Wakefield, owner and editor of The Bloom. Welcome! The Bloom is founded on the belief that good news builds community, unites people, and is also enjoyable to read. So here, you’ll find the best parts of Northern California, from literature to events, wineries and restaurants. If you would like to contact our staff, send a note to me, or book a speaking engagement, please do so through the form below. I look forward to hearing from you.
