Two Atlanta weekend events
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I just got word of a couple of book-related events this weekend.
Atlanta author David Fulmer was supposed to read and sign his new novel “The Blue Door” last weekend when the snowstorm hit, so they cancelled that event and have re-scheduled. It’s on for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Wordsmith Books in Decatur. Fulmer is a Shamus Award winner, and “Blue Door” is about the music business in Philadelphia in the early ’60s (and, of course, a murder and a guy trying to solve the murder). I wasn’t there, but boy does he make it feel authentic. I loved the book.
The Southern Order of Storytellers is holding its 26th annual Winter StoryFest tonight and Satuturday. Atlanta author Carmen Agra Deedy is the headliner. She will do a workshop at 3:30 p.m. today, and a performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. There will also be a performance by some other members of the Order at a show at 7:30 tonight, and more workshops Saturday. You can see the whole schedule here.. Deedy, who lives in Decatur, is known as a children’s author, but her stories and appeal are universal. A festival pass is $30, but I’m told there are additional fees for workshops.
