An afternoon with Gail Karwoski, award winning children's book author.
Ever dream of writing your own picture book for children? At one time author Gail Karwoski had that same dream.
For an audience of children, parents and grandparents, Gail told the story of how her book, Water Beds: Sleeping in the Ocean, originated, was written and illustrated. Gail started out wondering how mammals, who are air breathing animals like humans, could sleep in the ocean without drowning. She told her audience about how she worked with an artist to illustrate her words, then showed us how it was printed when she finished writing. Children will enjoy this, too.
Written on a Rock, the romantic murder mystery by Athens' author Martha Phillips, is set in the Granite producing town of Elberton, GA. The story includes much of that town's history and its ties to the 
granite industry although all the characters are a product of Martha's imagination.
Martha tells both an online and library audience about how she wrote this, her first novel, after she retired from the UGA Law School. If you are an aspiring author or if you enjoy traveling our Georgia roads you will want to listen to the archived version of this program.
The book is available to check out at the Athens Regional Library, and is available as an e-book. Check local bookstores for availability also.
