Local Female Authors are so worth your time this Saturday!

This Saturday, the Columbia-Marion County Public Library is inviting the public to attend its January "Meet the Authors," featuring Brandi Perry who wrote "Wayward Justice," and Tammy Ryals who penned "Meet the Challenge." After meeting both these ladies to write an article for the Marion County Informer, I have to say that the experience was very refreshing and enlightening.
I met Tammy first and she is a very sweet person. As a first time writer, long time teacher/mother, she has accomplished a great work with "Meet the Challenge" which chronicles her experiences raising her son who is severely disabled. She hopes the book is a source of guidance and hope for those who have experienced the same issues...which might be more relatable than one might think. She was a very nice person, and I hope folks will turn out to meet her and hear her speak about her first book. She is definitely worth your time!

I next met with Brandi Perry, who is a delightfully driven young lady. She was a fast talker, witty and ready to go. I enjoyed her candid sense of humor, and she has a little Oprah Book Club buzz going on already with her first book, "Wayward Justice." The premise of the story could happen in any small town, but imprint of the south is all over the page. A well-known character is murdered...but this is not a shut and close case of cold blood. There's many dirty secrets about to be aired for all to see...scandal, corruption, and justice. Ah, the truth will set you free. A very good read. Is it about Columbia? Could you possibly be one of the characters in the book? Check it out and see.

Both female authors have a lot in common and for more details on their writing process please visit http://www.marioncountyinformer.com/ to see the full article.

In short, I am very excited about these authors, and quite frankly, you should be too! Please take the time to support your library and come warm up this Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. and hear two courageous authors share moments from their first books! There will be zesty chili, sweet tea, and the fixings to also tempt you on over to 900 Broad Street. So put that DVD down. Tell your sister you will call her back later, and share in a experience that is worth your time.
