The Fayette

County Public Library and the Friends of the Fayette County Public Library

present the second series of "Why and How I Write" this Saturday

from 10 a.m. to noon in the Dorothea Redwine Meeting Room.

Enjoy an informative

morning with the talented writers and stay for lunch. All activities are

free to the public.

Among the authors

on hand is Estelle Ford-Williamson who is a university writing program

staff instructor in the Atlanta area and former reporter for UPI as well

as executive director of the Bicentennial commission. Her book, "Abbeville

Farewell: a Novel of Early Atlanta and North Georgia" was nominated

for the Georgia Writers Association new fiction award and for the Townsend

Prize for fiction in 2002.

The author

spent 10 years in research and though the book is a novel, it is based

on the actual events during the first 50 years of the nineteenth century

in Georgia.

It reflects

the difficult times, marked by fear of Indian attacks, settlers' uprisings

against each other, and the backwoods revenge for being on the wrong side

of an issue, one that would forever change the history of South.

Oddly enough,

many of the issues surrounding the Morgan family in the mid-nineteenth

century still confront citizens at the beginning of the 21st century.

Other authors

include poets, Sikha Karmakar, Dr. Helen Deas, Carol Buckler, and Marty

Holmes, as well as first-time authors Franklin P. Smith and Ines Hatch.

All publications

will be for sale.
