So, before they get here, let me tell you about the authors coming from Florida.
- From Crawfordville, FL is TERRY FOLSOM (maiden name McDaniel). Since her childhood in Doerun, she has used writing as a hobby and tool in the various ministries she has shared with her pastor-husband. Her book, "Nuggets from Genesis," represents her desire to touch the lives of young people and women with the Word of God.
- From Panama City Beach, FL is SONNY SAMMONS. He began his writing career with "Keepers of Echowah," which was later selected Book of the Year by Georgia Writers, Inc. The sequel to "Keepers" is scheduled for publication in June 2010 and movie rights to both books have been purchased. "The Valley of the Gods" is scheduled for publication in December.
- NATHAN SMITH HIPPS from Tallahassee (by way of Fitzgerald, GA) has contributed articles to national and regional magazines on southern life and people. "Remembrance" is his first published novel.
- JAMES W. PARRISH is from Tallahassee (by way of Quitman, GA). He became aware that two of his maternal great-great-grandfathers served in the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment as he researched his ancestors. His book "Wiregrass to Appomattox: The Untold Story of the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment, CSA" was written as a result.
- From Monticello, FL is DR. ANN HOLT, the author of "Riding Fence." She is also a poet, grant-writer and storyteller. She has authored eight novels, poetry, articles, reviews and a parenting book.
That's all the Florida writers. I think I'll wait until tomorrow to tell you about the ones from Conyers, Ellenton, Hahira and TyTy. And if you haven't found the time to come visit our special authors' event on Thursday, May 27th, you're sure going to miss a great treat. But I'm going to look for you....
