Local Author Night - featuring L. AUDEL CAYCE; LESTER MORRIS; SANDRA BOBEK
02/03/2012 7:00 pm
We love our local authors here at BookPeople, and tonight we're pleased to have with us two local Austin writers who will present their work.
L. AUDEL CAYCE will present Windland's Rescue.
On the morning of Windland Cloud's sixteenth birthday, she awoke from a
frightening dream that left her feeling shaken and in desperate need of
human company, but the house was empty. Her parents were nowhere to be
found and they left no note. This adds to her sense of unease and the
need to escape the residue from the dream and thoughts of her family's
dysfunctional life teetering on the edge of poverty, is nearly
unbearable. Windland grabs her hiking boots, laces up, and heads to a
nearby state park to try and clear her mind. On the way there her
fantastical journey begins... Windland's Rescue is a coming of age tale with a cast of characters that span time and galaxies; energy grids and traveling portals.
LESTER MORRIS will present The Violets are Mine: Tales of an Unwanted Orphan. 30 plus years in the writing, this book has at last come to print. It is a wonder that Lester has somehow managed to keep his sense of humor after all he went through as an orphan and waif in World War II England. Some of the funniest, saddest, most poignant stories are included in the book, which covers the time he was dropped off by his father to the Church of England nursery as a baby to his enlistment in the British Army. His hair-raising ride on the green penny-farthing bike is a classic as well as the gift from Santa of Harry the Invisible Cricket.
SANDRA BOBEK will present Letter Writer. A woman experiences several emotional traumas, the last of which is the death of her mother. This is especially difficult for her, so in the void of missing her she writes her mother letters and addresses them to Mom in Heaven and mails them. Little does she know that an artist that has hit a creative brick wall, has intercepted them. These letters inspire him once again, and wind up changing him.
