7-Day Author Forecast for Jan. 7-13
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Author tours get pretty quiet over the holidays, but now they are starting up again, albeit slowly. So every Monday The Book Page will go back to running all the worthwhile author appearances we know about.
Monday Jan. 7
John Lane. “Circling Home.” 7:15 p.m. at the Decatur Library. Lane is a natrualist and poet writing about his home of South Carolina.
Tuesday Jan. 8
Dr. Creflo A. Dollar. “8 Steps to Create the Life You Want.” 6-8 p.m. at Wal-Mart, 6149 Old National Highway, College Park. Dollar is one of the best-known proponents of the so-called “prosperity theology.”
Wednesday Jan. 9
Crescent Dragonwagon. “The Cornbread Gospels.” 6 p.m. at Margaret Mitchell House. $10 for non-members, free for members. A “thoughtful, exuberant love song to America’s favorite breadstuff and all that goes with it,” according to the MMH’s website. I’m still stuck on the name Crescent Dragonwagon. Is that the coolest name ever?
Thursday Jan. 10
Kate Jacobs. “The Friday Night Knitting Club.” 7:15 p.m. at the Decatur Library. This debut novel is about a single mother raising a biracial daughter who finds support from her knitting club.
Saturday Jan. 12
“Make ‘08 Great.” 2 p.m. at Women’s Center Auditorium, DeKalb Medical Center, 2701 N. Decatur Rd., Decatur. This seminar, sponsored by Wordsmith Books and DeKalb Medical, brings together three Atlanta authors: Carolyn O’Neil, discussing and signing “The Dish;” Patrice Dickey, discussing and signing ” Back to the Garden;” and Darlene Wofford, discussing and signing “Edgewise.” I should also mention that O’Neil is a fellow blogger here at the AJC’s website on our Heatlhy Eating blog.
