A Circle of Women Writers - an afternoon tea
The event will be hosted and moderated by the Camden County Cultural & Heritage Commission Executive Director, and renowned poet - Ms. Sandra Turner-Barnes.
Our 2010 participating authors include: Dr. Jo Anne White, counselor, international author, speaker and certified life, leadership and business coach; Rosemary Burgo, author of Whispers of Truth - Memoir of an Italian Catholic Baby Boomer; Tanya Norwood, creator of two recent books, Queen's Legacy and Fragmented Heart Healers & introducing Alaina Cummings, a 16 year old junior from Timber Creek High School, debuting her first novel - Alice Unknown. This year’s returning Special Guest panelist, Patricia Perry, author of The Haunting of the Owens Family, will speak about her book, as well as talk about her recent experiences as an author. All of our panelists from previous years are invited to return and participate.
The FREE event celebrates local women authors of recent books and promises to be a reading and sharing experience for women writers. This event is made possible by support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as the Camden County Library System and the Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Refreshments will be served, and advanced reservations are required by calling 856-858-0040.
As a part of the Cultural & Heritage Commission’s expanded literary program, look for our “Circle of Men Writers” program coming in June.
