Join me at the Nola Brantley Memorial Library in my hometown of Warner Robins, Georgia on Thursday evening, July 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. I'll discuss writing, my efforts to inspire people to write about their keepsakes, and my journey to collect and publish the stories that matter—the stories that have to be told.

I'll try to have a few other Project Keepsake contributors on-hand to tell their stories, too—Jim Gilreath, Julie Moss, Audrey Andersen, Debbie Dickson, and maybe a few others.

Yes, I'll have books for sale, and if you want, I'll gladly sign one for you. And as always, if you have a small keepsake, please bring it along and tell all of us why you keep it.

Tell your friends! For more information, contact the library at (478) 923-0128.
