The Written Word is Alive and Well in St.
Augustine

By Ama Reynolds

All over St. Augustine—all
over the fair state of Florida and all over the world, for that matter—books and
the people who write them continue to inform, delight, thrill, elucidate,
illuminate, educate, inspire, elicit laughter, provide portals of escape, and remind
us of a past we might otherwise be doomed to repeat—lest we forget, that is.

Such is the power of the written word.


Book Lovers Unite (at
the Florida Heritage Book Festival)!

 
  
This Saturday, celebrate
that power at the Florida Heritage Book Festival in the heart of the St.
Augustine historic district and most especially on the beautiful red brick and
cobblestone terrain that is the Flagler College campus.


“Each year The Florida Heritage Book Festival showcases Florida’s rich and
diverse literary legacy with a day of author talks which promise to delight
book lovers and provide inspiration for aspiring authors,” say Florida
Heritage Book Festival co-founder Vic DiGenti.

Weave through the maze-like treasure trove of the latest books from your
favorite Florida authors and publishing houses. Meet with featured and marketplace
authors to purchase books, get your own copies signed and enjoy a little
one-on-one discussion with the author if possible.

Florida Heritage Book Festival’s Featured Writers: Getting Better All the Time


“This year we’ve raised the bar even higher by presenting an enticing mix of
bestselling authors whose body of work—in both fiction and nonfiction—is truly impressive,”
says DiGenti.  

“If you’re into fiction, you may have
some tough decisions to make about which author presentations to attend. The
same problem arises with nonfiction.”

Please review the festival
website to discover the details about featured poetry, nonfiction, and fiction
writers.

Whichever writer
you decide to see, you’re sure to be pleased.
