CULLMAN – The Cullman County Public Library is hosting a Meet and Greet the Author event on Tuesday, April 12, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in honor of National Library Week. The event is free and a great opportunity for the community to get to know local writers and hear their stories.
Writers at the event include:
- Sharon Schuler Kreps, author of “Jokers & Dandies,” a book about growing up in Cullman during the 1970s as seen through the big brown eyes of a whimsical little Southern girl.
- Greg Burden, author of “Blount Springs, Alabama’s Fountain of Youth,” which tells the history of Blount Springs when it was a health resort. The book covers over 100 years of history.
- Bethany Kerr, author of “Precious Infants – Courageous Stories of Premature Birth,” which is a compilation of 90+ pencil drawings of premature infants, accompanied by a story of each child's incredible journey. Kerr is also the author of “Answers in a Time of Miscarriage.” The book provides factual answers to many common questions about miscarriage. It also has many poignant stories of loss that Kerr has collected, including her own story of miscarriage.
- Joy York, author of “The Bloody Shoe Affair,” a thrilling adventure with the jailer's daughter. In this mystery set in 1968, Christi, a shy and awkward teenager, never expected to get sucked into helping her cousin, Lily, the “double-dare-you” daughter of the county jailer, try to solve the grizzliest murder the town of Roselyn, Mississippi, had ever seen.
- Joyce Elson Moore, award-winning author of “The Stockholm Castle Mystery,” which is set in 17th-century Stockholm where the Swedish queen’s lute player must solve a theft and murder in the castle.
Authors will have copies of their books for sale at the event. Light refreshments will be served, and there will be a drawing for a Belk Gift Card at the end of the evening.
