Carol Frost writes:

Rollins Writers Conference starts this May, and we’d love to see applications from local writers. We share the credo of Winter With the Writers and the National Book Foundation – that all national writing is local. Our faculty are Winter With the Writers guests from past years, and the programming is similar to programming during WWW festivals, only dedicated to writers who are no longer undergraduates – writers with manuscripts that are close to ready to send out and writers who want to step up their publishing opportunities. We’ve extended our application deadline till the first of May.

Here’s the faculty.

Randy Wayne White Launches Mangrove Lightning at First Congregational Church

Randy Wayen White Mangrove Lightning

Writers Block Bookstore announces the launch of Randy Wayne White’s newest book, Mangrove Lightning, at NOON today, Wednesday, March 29th at the First Congregational Church of Winter Park, 225 S Interlachen Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789.

“A legendary charter captain and guide named Tootsie Barlow has come to him, muttering about a curse. The members of his extended family have suffered a bizarre series of attacks, and Barlow’s convinced it has something to do with a multiple murder in 1925, in which his family had a shameful part.

Ford doesn’t believe in curses, but as he and his friend Tomlinson begin to investigate, following the trail of the attacks from Key Largo to Tallahassee, they, too, suffer a series of near-fatal mishaps. Is it really a curse? Or just a crime spree? The answer lies in solving a near-hundred-year-old murder…and probing the mind of a madman.”
