An open mic will follow her presentation. Bring a poem or a short prose piece to participate. CWPW is sponsored by North Carolina Writers’ Network-West (NCWN-W) which also includes writers in Towns, Union, Fannin, and Rabun Counties in Georgia.
Ms. Zick writes in a variety of genres, including romance,
contemporary fiction, and creative nonfiction. She's won various awards for her
essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction. Her novels range from
environmental sagas set in Florida to contemporary romances with a variety of
backdrops from Florida to Chicago to Long Island to the mountains of North
Carolina. Her nonfiction writing includes books on gardening, travel, and
writing.
She wrote the four novels in her Smoky Mountain Romance series after moving to Murphy, North
Carolina, several years ago. Drawing on the mountain view from her cabin, she
fashioned a community of people who find hope and love in southwestern North
Carolina. Strangers become friends and friends become family in the fictional
town of Laurel. Local readers will easily recognize the landmarks in and around
Cherokee and Clay counties.
With strong
characters, inspiring settings, and surprising plot twists, Ms. Zick imparts
her love of family and nature in all her writings. She and her
husband enjoy gardening, kayaking, golfing, and exploring waterfalls and
mountain vistas throughout western North Carolina. It all serves as her
inspiration for creating stories that express her philosophy of living lightly
upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion.
