CBC Report: Bestselling authors Pamela Samuels-Young, Fon James and Bridgette Collins, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
What a way to end the month! Conversations Book Club is proud to tell you that the final FULL WEEK of October 2007 is a BIG MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
We hosted events for bestselling authors Pamela Samuels-Young, Fon James and Bridgette Collins---with great success and support from everyone.
The highlight for me was our visit to Crystal Springs Elementary School (thanks to our book club member and school Principal Cheryl Haynes) and with Crystal Springs High School with author Bridgette Collins.
On Friday evening we had all three authors together at Waldenbooks Metrocenter discussing their triumphs and struggles in the literary world, as well as giving advice for up and coming authors. All three shared their personal experiences in writing their books as well as how they feel about being trailblazers in their respective genres.
On Saturday we spent the evening with Bridgette Collins and her mother at Spoken Word Saturdays, entertained by Lannie Helton and Diane Johnston on guitar and our Dance Minister Robin Gardner through dance.
There was no other way we would have liked to end such an eventful week.
Look for more to follow, including a slideshow of the weekend. As always, enjoy your day, enjoy your life. Enjoy your world.
