Make a New Year’s Resolution to get to know our local authors!
It is hard to escape the realization that this area is overflowing with writing talent. In an effort to not only recognize this wonderful groundswell, but also to promote and support the people who are making it happen, we are launching a Local Author’s Book Club! Each month we will read a book by a local author (primarily narratives) and invite the author to the discussion - hopefully for some autographs, too!
