Southern Writers Unite
Saturday’s first annual Southern Writers Celebration, which was held in Horn Lake, Mississippi at the M. R. Dye Public Library, was a big success. Nine authors were invited to intend, including myself and several other local writers. A crowd of about fifty showed up for the three-hour long presentation, despite the rain.
The lineup included two historical fiction writers, two nonfiction writers, a historical romance writer, a couple of children’s writers, and two fantasy authors. The youngest is only sixteen years old, and has already written his second novel.
Thanks to everyone who ventured out in the dreary, wet weather to attend. I, for one, really appreciate your support and participation.
