Great time at Ft. Benning - sister-authors making memories, enjoying meeting our troops!

ATLANTA'S GA PEACH AUTHORS ARE COMING TO FORT BENNING - this Saturday, 7/16/11, from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.!!

Send your essay (Aha Moment) for inclusion in non-fiction book by Electa Rome Parks!!!

My road traveled to becoming a mature, wiser woman has been an amazing journey consisting of glorious ups and devastating downs, and everything in between, which still continues to this day. Life really is a journey, not a destination.

I firmly believe it takes a village to raise a child. Wouldn’t it have been great if when you were a child, someone had shared their life lessons with you? Gave you a blueprint so to speak? Made your journey through this maze called life a bit easier?

Well, that’s what I would like to compile, a sharing of life lessons in non-fiction form for our young women. I intend to interview at least 100 women, age 21 and older, who are willing to share for publication, an “AHA moment” in life.

If interested in being interviewed, via essay submission, please contact me at novelideal@aol.com for further details, submission guidelines and consideration. Please place “AHA MOMENT” in the subject line.

Let’s make a difference!


Peace & Blessings,

Electa

The GA Peach Authors at the historical Hammonds House Museum

The GA Peach Authors were privileged to be included in Written Magazine's kickoff to the 30 Books In 90 Days event at the beautiful, historical Hammonds House Museum. We were joined by esteemed authors L.M. Davis (picture above on the far right, as well as below), Kenny Blue (pictured below), and Daniel Black, and we enjoyed the many readers and writers who filled the room. There was a lot of laughter, and I mean a LOT, sharing of our journeys and experiences, and we answered some great questions from the audience. It was a fun-filled Sunday afternoon of conversations about books, the craft of writing, and the importance of reading. Michelle Gipson (on the far left, pictured below), the event organizer, did an awesome job.

By the way, the Hammonds House Museum and Resource Center of African American Art is a fine arts venue whose mission is to preserve, exhibit, and increase public awareness about the contributions that visual artists of African descent have made to world culture. It was built in 1872, and is one of the oldest homes on the West End here in Atlanta. You can visit the Hammonds House website at http://www.hammondshouse.org/aboutus.html

This was the 2nd stop of our tour- next stop is Ft. Benning on 7/16/11, and more events to follow.

While we each write different types of stories, one thing is the same, we love what we do and look forward to meeting you along the way.
