And The Last Few Are...

The last few authors to tell you about, who are coming to "Books & Bites" tomorrow (YIKES! Tomorrow!) are:
  • From Conyers, DARRELL L. HUCKABY is the author of "Need Two," as well as a syndicated newspaper columnist, teacher, and public speaker, who loves to share his down-home humor and unique reflections on life.
  • From Ellenton, AUDIE PERRY, SR. always dreamed of having a book published. He recently fulfilled his dream when he published "Heroic Kids of the Inner Dimension," and he hopes he's taught some Christian beliefs along the way.
  • FREEMAN RIVERS, SR. is from Hahira and the author of "Words of Expression and Encouragement." He's involved in community and civic organizations, is a Master Mason, a 32nd degree Mason with Shriner Prince Hall Affiliation.
  • SHIRLEY STRAWTER of TyTy has written and compiled several soul-stirring collections of poems, including "Seasoned with Grace." She's also composed a series of short stories. Reverend Strawter is pastor of St. John and St. Mark A.M.D. Church in Plains, GA.

We have added another author since I started telling you about them. DEAN POLING from Valdosta is a nominee for the 46th annual Georgia Writers Association's Author of the Year for his first novel "Waiting for Willie." He's also the assistant managing editor of The Valdosta Daily Times and associate editor of Valdosta Scene magazine.

And into each life some rain must fall, so I'm sorry to report that we've lost three authors for the event due to unexpected circumstances: Janice and Clyde Short of Lake Park and Keith Taylor of Pavo. But we have them on the list for next year!

Well, I guess that's it for the special authors' event. I sure hope to see you there. It's an event book lovers just should not miss. Remember, it's 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., right here in the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library, 204 5th Street, Southeast, in good ole Moultrie, Georgia.
