Hey y'all, it's fall!

          Fall, though not my favorite season, does have its advantages. Football, food, and fires make it worthwhile.

GeorgiaJanet 

will be appearing at the Bluffton Book Festival November 19. Take a weekend getaway and come on out! 

          Getting dark at six o'clock lends itself to cocooning at home, writing or snuggled up with a good book, movie, and coffee. 

Speaking of writing, 

Dorothy May is coming along...

GeorgiaJanet:

Because there is nothing like summertime on a red dirt road in Georgia, I’ve gone red! 

 

Can you see it shimmering in the heat? Smell the dust as it flies? Taste the grit in your mouth? Feel the ridges as you bump along in an old truck?

Again with Pain

You think you will never laugh again  

You can't see past the pain  

You think you will never dance again  

When all you can feel is pain  

You think you will never be at peace again  

Amidst the tumult of your pain  

You would be wrong and you would be right  

You will laugh and dance and be at peace again  

Yet, surely and incessantly, the pain will remain  

You will do these things again with pain  

With pain, you will do them again.

Like the graphic? GeorgiaJanet designed it just for If These Walls Could Talk. You may be seeing again in the near future - could it possibly be the cover image for a new book? 

Don't forget Madam May has been revised and is now available in print as well as ebook. It is doing well! If you have read the book I would REALLY  appreciate it if you would take the time to do a short review on Amazon. Go here: MADAM MAY

March 2, 2016

Winter is waning and spring is on the way. 

GeorgiaJanet is loving it!

   March 2 is the birthday of the immortal Theodore Geisel, and in his honor March 2 has been named Read Across America Day. 

              If you are not reading anything right now, GeorgiaJanet has the perfect suggestion.   Madam May! The Kindle edition is already available and  I am working on the print edition. It should be out by the end of March. 

                  

                    Kindle Edition

Print Edition Proof

GeorgiaJanet met with The Oaks book club in Turin, GA. They can't wait for a sequel to Madam May...

My new post on Reader's Unbound will be published March 23, but you don't have to wait for that. If you love the written word, there are new posts by gifted writers every Wednesday. Check it out!  

That's all for now folks...Happy Easter! 

This and That

There is hope for aspiring authors! 

It is surprising to see the names of some notable authors who asked for their work to be destroyed upon their death. What a tragedy if we did not have the beautiful poetry of Emily Dickinson to fuel romance. As for me, I don't give a cotton-pickin' flip what happens with my ramblings after I am gone. I'll be too busy dancing on heaven's streets of gold to care!  

Check out other well-known authors who did not have a claim to fame while living:

Many of you have asked...

It won't be long now and you will be able to purchase Madam May in print! Hopefully it will be available by mid-late February. Keep checking www.georgiajanet.com for updates. 

You know Georgia Janet loves summer...

Just couldn't take any more gray cold days, so I am escaping the winter for a warm week on a cruise in the Caribbean. GeorgiaJanet will be a Bahama Mama for a few days!
