Writers' Night Out via Zoom

June 11, 7 pm
Reading & Discussion + Open Mic

P.C. Zick’s passion for sharing her stories and helping aspiring writers realize their dreams motivates all her projects. And that’s whether she’s serving as an editor to others or creating her own books that entertain and inform her readers.

 
Zick writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and creative nonfiction. She’s had works in each of these genres published and has won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and novels.
 
Setting plays a significant role in her fiction, beginning with the three contemporary novels in her Florida fiction series, which explore the people and landscape of the Sunshine State. Her romances transport readers to some of her favorite places from Long Island to Chicago to Florida to the Smoky Mountains. Her four separate romance series explore various social issues as people of all ages navigate the complicated road to romance.
 
Zick has also written a variety of nonfiction books, which include a primer for beginning writers for drafting, writing, and publishing a book. Her book on vegetable gardening combines her husband’s passion for growing food and her love of cooking it. She has also published and annotated the journal of her great-grandfather based on his experiences as a Union soldier during the Civil War.
 
She and her husband split their time between Tallahassee and the Smoky Mountains near Murphy, where they enjoy gardening, kayaking, golfing, and hiking. To learn more, please visit www.pczick.com.

Brenda Kay Ledford Publishes Children's Picture Book

 

Brenda Kay Ledford's new children's picture book, The Singing Convention, was published by Catch the Spirit of Appalachia, Inc. in April, 2021.

This is a wonderful true story of a family of eight children set in the early century.  It is a story of how one child feels about being called to do most of the work and the lesson he learns.  This book also introduces readers to shape-note singing.  The beautiful illustrations by Doreyl Ammons Cain capture the culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains with grace.

Ledford's book is available at:  Chinquapins, Hayesville, NC; Shelton House Museum, Waynesville, NC, and www.CSAbooks.com.
