Eva Marie Everson and Diana Sharples

I am so excited to tell you about my adventure to Atlanta and Marietta Georgia yesterday. I left out about 2:30pm and went to visit my daughter who lives in Atlanta. Then on the way back I stopped off at North Metro Church to hear Eva Marie Everson talk about her book "Things Left Unspoken." I was a little early and was blessed to spend a few minutes getting to know Eva and taking some pictures (posted above ). After we had a great supper of chili and strawberry shortcake for dessert, Eva talked on her book. She paralleled the books story and characters to the story of her childhood (with a few added things in the book).

I also had the privilege to meet Diana Sharples who is a writer of young adult fiction. Diana and I had a good conversation during the meal and she was a great encouragement to me. She urged me to continue my quest to enter the Genesis contest. Diana was a double finalist in the Genesis contest for 2009. Please go and visit both of these ladies websites. I know they will be glad to have you. I am going to post the pictures then in the next couple of days I will review "Things Left Unspoken."

HAPPY READING!
