Wedding Shower! Swan Coach House💍

Our bridal shower for Anna at the iconic Swan Coach House in Atlanta was absolutely wonderful!

Since 1967, the coach house has been an old Buckhead stand-by luncheon venue for the daughters of us Southern belles who are embarking on married life. See this link for pictures and more details:

We had family come from Michigan and North Carolina and saw long-time friends who have played an instrumental part in Anna's life. Games, gifts, cupcakes, roses, chicken salad, and mimosas rounded out the day. It was a time to remember!

Now, on to September 14th!

Book Presentation - Jacksonville Literary Guild

Today I had the honor of presenting my novel, The Velvet Box, to the Jacksonville Literary Guild in Jacksonville, N.C.

Lunch, presentation, and a lively discussion took place at the Jacksonville Country Club - one of my old stomping grounds as a kid. I have fond memories of summers at the pool, burgers at the snack bar, and watching my granddaddy play a round of golf.

I was also honored to have two of my life-long friends, Mary Beth Hargett and Catherine Renchen, there by my side, cheering me on. Cathy Renchen, in particular, has been a great supporter of my writing over the years. Love them both. My mother was there as well. So glad that she could join us.

Here I am with the president of the Guild, Diane Popkin, and Syliva Lewis, another good friend and great supporter. Sylvia read my book a year ago and suggested it as a "must-read" for the Guild. I am forever in her debt!

A great day and a wonderful incentive to keep writing! Book clubs are the backbone of the book/novel industry, and this author is extremely thankful for this wonderful group of ladies!

Happy reading - and writing!
