(MENAFNEditorial) Online PR News 21-August-2017 Atlanta, GA From 1 to 3 September 2017, , author of the piece will be joining this year's AJC Decatur Book Festival, a community-based, non-profit event and largest independent festival in the country. Being renowned as one of the five largest festivals in the country, DBF continues to gather world-class authors as well as hundreds of thousands of festival-goers to enjoy book signings, author readings, panel discussions, an interactive children's area, live music, parade, cooking demonstrations, poetry slams, writing workshops, and others. These activities will be happening in and around the historic downtown Decatur square.
"We always knew Atlanta had a thriving writing and book community, but it needed a centerpiece to bring all the parts together," Tom Bell points out as he recalls the history of DBF. It was when Daren Wang hatched a hare-brained idea to establish a festival celebrating the spoken/written word that brought the other dreamers and believers together. Tom Bell founding program director, Linda Harris, Richard Lenz, Alice Murray, Bill Starr and Judy Turner then began brewing the magic.
The DBF got rave reviews shortly after 18 months of hard work and dedication in volunteering full-time, until its commencement over Labor Day weekend back in 2006, which was attended by over 100 authors and 50, 000 people. The success of the event was contributed by the combination of supportive local businesses and restaurants, eager and able volunteers, and the ability to walk easily from venue to venue.
Annie Jones Holmes lives in Helena, Alabama with her husband Willie. She served as a Judicial assistant in Alabama's Fourth Judicial Circuit, for twenty seven years; for eleven years, she served as and Executive Assistant to the Midwest Territorial Manager in Chicago; and she also worked in the offices of Sears Roebuck for five years. Being a lover of the 1900's historical era of the rural settings, she keeps her mind busy with research and imagination. After retiring, she pursued her writing career. Beneath The Willow: Short Stories is a masterpiece by Holmes that portrays an "Act of Life". The stories involve feelings of sincerity, facade, influence, anger, conflict, happiness, sadness, solemnity and others. This is a heartwarming piece that will enrich every reader and change their perception about life.
BookBlastPro will represent the author at the AJC Decatur Book Festival. The festival-goers and other authors will have the opportunity of getting first-hand information about Holmes and her piece, Beneath The Willow: Short Stories . They will also get bookmarks and an opportunity of photo documentation which will be released after the event. The book selling will be announced at the event.
AJC Decatur Book Festival Bookzilla, Annie Jones Holmes's book and the rest of the fun activities will make this event a literary powerhouse that will delight the attendees and will make this annual event a huge success, as what Tom Bell expressed: "That's what the festival does best."
