Author P.C. Zick Featured at Coffee with the Poets and Writers

           

Coffee with the Poets and Writers (CWPW) will feature best-selling author P.C. Zick on Wednesday, July 17, at 10:30 a.m. at the Moss Memorial Library in Hayesville, NC. The event is free and open to the public. 

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.
