ANTICIPATING 2011

HERE'S A HEADS-UP for readers following the movements of our new book, THE SALVATION OF MAGGIE RIDER: Stories from Nokofta which appeared 1 November 2011. On 14 November, the book debuted with flowers, refreshments, and out-of-state guests in a standing-room-only crowd at the High Springs Branch of the Alachua County Library System. Many thanks to our hostess, Martha Roberts, and her staff in High Springs, and to Gail, Jeannie, Mary Alice, and Judy who furnished the food and to all those old friends and new friends who were there that Sunday afternoon. NFCDS, INC. has SOLD OUT its first shipment of books but more are on the way.

WRITING WORKSHOP:

WRITE IT. WRITE IT NOW!

Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for the Writing Life

Sudye Cauthen, author of Florida Book Award Winner SOUTHERN COMFORTS: Rooted in a Florida Place offers a workshop about incorporating writing into our busy lives: how to keep the words coming, whether poetry, fiction, or nonfiction; exercises to sharpen skills of observation; openings and closings. The creation of memoir and its rewards, syntax, tone, flashbacks, and the centrality of yearning. The value of timelines, recognizing soft underbellies, and feeding the muse. We will come away excited about language. This workshop is open to the public; please call to reserve a seat as space is limited.

I'll meet you here again soon. Hope your 2011 is off to a grand start!

We'll be back on the road doing book events and writing workshops, beginning January 24 at a meeting of the Columbia County Historical Society -- 7 p.m., Downtown Library, Lake City, FL.

NOW SCHEDULED:

12 February 2011 (a Saturday) at the Alachua Library Branch: WRITE. WRITE IT NOW! Tricks, Tips, and Techniques for the Writing Life, a free two-hour workshop (with 20-min break). Space is limited, so reserve if you're coming by calling the library at 386 462-2592. Eight days later we return, bringing Maggie Rider (and her cohorts) home. The book's available online, but we'd rather you'd buy it from NFCDS, Inc., if you can; the author donated the book and all monies made go toward our mission of exploring, documenting, and celebrating North Florida's peoples and their relationship to the land. That TSOMR reading/signing will is scheduled for 20 February 2011, a Sunday afternoon.

That's it for tonight. I'll meet you back here again soon.
