EVENT IN SAVANNAH 7/30

I will read poetry and make a presentation at Barnes and Noble in Savannah, Georgia on Saturday, July 30th at 1:00 p.m.

This event is sponsored by Southernscribe.com, an internet-based writing forum moderated by the lovely Joyce Dixon. Appearing with me will be the award winning poet Kay Day, whose book, A Poetry Break, was nominated for the SEBA Book of the Year. Her most recent tome, Killing Earl, will be featured in her presentation.

I have to tell all of you, I read Killing Earl in one sitting. The prose is so seamless, so riveting, that I could not tear myself away from it. It is a true story of a young girl, Kay Day's own daughter, and her odyssey of dealing with a mystery illness. In her book, Day gives helpful information to families dealing with real health problems, and insight into the medical implications that can cripple the strongest of wills.

Ken Bell will also appear, promoting his books, respectively, From the Heart, and From the Heart II. Though Ken did not write any of the essays in the book, he is wholly responsible for compiling these stories of love and inspiration for all to enjoy. The fabulous Joyce Dixon will be signing with Ken; not only is she the queen of cyberspace at Southernscribe.com, but she is also a contributer to From the Heart II.

Please join us as we speak and read. Each of us will give a talk about publishing, and aspiring writers are welcomed!
