Couldn't Blame the Weather
The sun was shining and it was in the 60s Saturday for Authors
for Literacy at the Lexington Main Library. However, the event drew little traffic. I
wasn’t the only writer who sold very few books. Too bad. It was for a worthy
cause. Donations from the event were given to Turning Pages, a Columbia based
organization that offers free instruction to adults in reading and math. South
Carolina barely misses being in the list of top ten highest illiteracy rates in the USA.
We authors
visited one another and talked the talk of writing and publishing. I sat beside
Johnny Bloodworth, a friend who writes Southern fiction. His novel Gift is set in a small town in Georgia
in 1946.

Thanks to the Lexington Library, which provided the venue where we writers might meet readers.
