Terry Kay and more
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Terry Kay is one of those Atlanta institutions we take for granted if we are not careful. He has written nine novels, the best-known of which is still probably his first, “To Dance With the White Dog.” (Incidentally, the 1993 Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie version, which starred Hume Cronyn, was pretty good.) He’s in the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame (Kay, not Cronyn), and according to his bio he used to be a movie and theater reviewer for the AJC, although that was long before I got here.
Kay’s latest novel is “The Book of Marie.” He will be talking about it at a “Literary Salon Event,” which presumably means those in attendance should sip their tea with pinkies extended, at the Margaret Mitchell House. Reception at 6 tonight (Sept. 20), lecture at 7; free to members, $10 for non-members.
I also have just heard about a couple of upcoming author appearances that are a bit exceptional.
On Oct. 9, First Daughter Jenna Bush is coming to the Alpharetta Barnes & Noble to promote her Young Adult book “Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope.” We’re talking Secret Service, folks, so behave.
On Oct. 6, talk radio host Laura Ingraham will bring her Power to the People bus to Atlanta to promote her new book, “Power to the People.” She’ll be at the same Alpharetta Barnes & Noble from 1-3 p.m., then at the Cobb Galleria at 7:30 p.m. I was hoping she’d stop by Outwrite Books in Midtown. That would have been fun.

I saw Terry Kay speak earlier this year, and it was a wonderful experience. I won’t be able to make it to the event tonight, but anyone who does is in for a treat.
Also, a hearty LOL at the thought of Laura Ingraham and her groupies hanging out at the Outwrite Bookstore.
What’s up with so many book events happening at the Alpharetta B&N these days? It’s not the roomiest of stores.
