There's Lots To Do And Not Enough Time

We have been so busy around here lately. I just noticed it's been a week since my last blog. But let me explain. There's lots to do and not enough time.
We have our second annual authors' event coming up on Tuesday, May 26th. And since some of us work part-time, we are trying to cram a lot of stuff into a little time. Plus we've been going through some major office renovations and have felt a little displaced.
Anyhow, we've been working really hard on the authors' event, which this year is called "Books & Bar-B-Q." We'd really like you to attend and meet some of these wonderful authors who will be with us this year. Like...
Amy Blackmarr of Savannah. She's an award-winning author of five books, who became a familiar public radio voice and whose work has appeared in publications ranging from anthologies on women's spirituality to textbooks for middle-grade children. With a Ph.D. in English, she has been a popular speaker for more than ten years about the personal essay and the relationship between the natural world and the creative process. She will be bringing her book "Going to Ground" and autographing it. If you don't have it, you'll be able to purchase it.
Another well-known author is Jackie K. Cooper. He's from Perry, GA, but has family here in Moultrie. He has authored five books, all memoirs about growing up and living in the South. He also provides entertainment reviews (in his spare time from writing books) for websites and newspapers, commentaries for Georgia Public Radio, and is an after-dinner speaker and guest speaker on radio shows. He recently taught a memoirs course at the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta. His new book, "The Sunrise Remembers," will be available for you to purchase.
We also have Janet Litherland of Thomasville with us this year. She's the author of four novels, ten nonfiction books, and numerous articles and stories for national magazines. Her theatrical background led her to author more than 100 music/drama-related scripts. She has also taught college extension courses in creative writing and served as a seminar leader for writers' conferences. She will be bringing her book "Song of the Heart" for you to review and
purchase.
The object of the authors' event is not to sell books, but to give the community an opportunity to meet these great authors and talk to them about their writing; just enjoy the evening with all these creative people.
There are so many more authors to tell you about. Stay tuned. Tomorrow's blog will be about an author who wrote "Road Kill Art and Other Oddities." Sounds interesting, huh?
