Authors highlighted at local event

Authors highlighted at local event

New Boston author and director of Northeast Texas Properties Cal Davis was one of the many authors featured at last week’s Chocolate Party at the Atlanta Library. Atlanta Library’s chocolate party was a real candy of a get-together last Thursday. The purpose of the gathering was not really to sample chocolate. The store-bought bars and packages of candy were really just for appearance. The real purpose of the two-hour event was to meet authors and others who, like one’s self, were interested in books, how they get printed and how they get sold. One thing for certain is that at book signings and publishing parties, the patron doesn’t mind being shoulder- to-shoulder with the writer. One usually never gets this chance. Authors are rare individuals, truly hidden between pages. So, at the party, the citizen simply bumps up to the author and asks questions. Atlanta’s library was filled with readers and writers for the event. Some 10 tables were placed on three different floors of the building and many of these were just arms-length apart from each other. Of course, there were opportunities to support the library with sales and membership. 06/26/2024 09:02 AM

The only good snake is a dead snake

The only good snake is a dead snake

Snakes are everywhere. It really does seem like it nowadays. Everywhere you turn it seems you have to be careful for snakes. They can leap out at you in an instant and spew their venom through their nasty fangs and inflict their pain before you even see them coming. 06/26/2024 09:02 AM

Worn Bible for a Lost

Worn Bible for a Lost

I spent a couple of hours chatting with a man, a friend of a friend, who had just been released from prison. His journey has been a tough one, marked by many crimes and 25 years of drug use. But his surrender and walk with Christ began when ministers shared the gospel with him while serving time in a Texas prison. He received a small paperback Bible and read it from cover to cover. 06/26/2024 09:01 AM
