BookClubs are Taking Orlando by Faith

THE 2009 FAITH and FICTION RETREAT FEATURES 4 BESTSELLING CHRISTIAN FICTION AUTHOR in ORLANDO, FLORIDA

ATLANTA, GA, June 23 / --Amidst dwindling book sells in the publishing industry, Christian books, specifically Christian novels continue to outsell literary competition, according to Publisher's Weekly. Therefore it was no surprise that during the summer's heavy reading season Christian Book Clubs rallied to bring the much anticipated third annual Faith and Fiction Retreat to sunny Orlando, Florida.

The Faith and Fiction Retreat is an annual luxury event where book clubs relax, relate and read with bestselling authors. The retreat will be held at the The Villas of Grand Cypress in Orlando, FL. Bestselling featured authors this year are: Reshonda Tate Billingsley(The Devil is a Lie, Simon & Schuster,) Tiffany L. Warren(The Bishop's Daughter, Grand Central Publishing,) TiaMcCollors(The Truth about Love, Moody,) and Angela Benson(Up Pops the Devil, Harper Collins.)

The 2009 retreat will bring brand new panels for book clubs, publishing 101 for authors and late night book discussions for TEENS. The retreat will take place in family vacation spot Orlando, FL at The Villas of Grand Cypress (www.grandcypress.com). Features of The Villas of Grand Cypress include exceptional grounds, free transportation to Disney and Universal Studios, and horseback riding. Other authors presenting panels are: Pat G’Orge Walker, Sherri L. Lewis, Dwan Abrams, Bonnie Hopkins, Shana Burton, Ashea Goldson, Daphine Glenn Robinson, Donna Deloney, Linda Leigh Hargrove, Sherryle Jackson, and Poet Stella Alexander.

The retreat will open its doors to Orlando and surrounding residents for it's first Saturday Summer Session & Author Book Fair. Barnes and Noble Orlando store will host the book fair and author signing. Visit Florida Faith Fiction Fair for more information.

Tribute to Michael Jackson




A little shocked and saddened that Michael Jackson has passed. My favorite performances from Michael Jackson are on my Youtube account. I really enjoyed him at the 1995 MTV Awards and the 1988 Grammy Awards with the Gospel Choir.

TIME UPON THE EARTH IS A BLESSING AND AN INCREASE IN AGE INCREASES WISDOM.

I GUESS THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO NOT WANT TO SEE ALL YOUR YOUTHFUL STRENGTH FADE AWAY WITH THE PASSING YEARS. BUT WITH AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE, MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND THE GRACE OF GOD, YOU CAN GET OLDER AND NOT GET 'OLD'. AND IN ANY CASE, YOU ONLY REALLY HAVE TWO CHOICES IN THAT AREA

Push!

Currently, my paid profession is that of a Registered Nurse. My specialty is Labor & Delivery and I love working with pregnant moms.

The Hand You're Dealt

When I was growing up, I hated my name. It was different from everyone else’s and I used to get teased incessantly. I was called “Tangerine”, “Tangy” and my all time favorite, “Tangerinee-Weeney”! I wanted a more common name like “Jacqueline” or “Demetria” so that I could fit in and not stand out. Then I struggled with insecurities about having to wear glasses. I was kind of homely and my hair was nappy. As I became a teenager, I struggled with not having “good” hair, light skin or light brown e… Continue
