From Far And Wide, The Authors Are Coming!

That's right! And if you've been following the blogs, you know that today I'm going to tell you more about our authors' event, "Books & Bites."
You're going to meet some fabulous authors, enjoy hearing about their writing careers, and taking a look at some great books they're bringing with them to sell and autograph. Some of the authors are...

• JACQUELYN COOK from DeSoto, whose first love is writing timeless stories about the South. She'll have copies of her novel "The Greenwood Legacy," which is based on a culture of plantations, 70 of which still exist on 300,000 acres from Thomasville to Tallahassee.
• JACKIE K. COOPER is from Perry. He has not only authored five books, the latest "The Sunrise Remembers," but he is a film critic with reviews in an assortment of Georgia newspapers and a featured radio/TV guest across the South. His next book, "Back to the Garden," will be published in the spring of 2011.
• DAVID H. HANKS will be coming from Augusta. A Morven native, he published his book "The Disappearance" in 2007, a novel based on a true crime that occurred in 1972 near his hometown in South Georgia. He was among the award winners of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize given to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
• KAY STRICKLAND HEATH from Dawson has written three chapter books in the "Ida Claire" series, as well as "Three Little Frogs in a Boomerang Journey." She continues to share her love of writing by visiting schools to make presentations about reading and writing.
• PATSY M. HENRY is from Bainbridge. Her goal for retirement was to explore her dream of writing and she has done just that. Her books, "My Hare Line" and "My Hare Line Meets the Brown Rabbit," reflect her love for her little bunnies.
• WILLIAM (BILL) LIGHTLE is the Albany author of "Made or Broken: Football & Survival in the Georgia Woods" who was honored by the Georgia senate for "his passion for education, history, and the furtherance of social justice." His second book, "Mill Daddy: The Life and Times of Roy Davis," was published in November 2009.
