This has been a fun week for me. On Monday night, The Friends of the Library, held their monthly meeting. The guest speaker, Carla Damron, is from Sumter and came to speak about her career. Ms. Damron is a social worker, but also a MYSTERY WRITER! She currently has two books published - Keeping Silent and Spider Blue. Being a huge fan of mystery books I had to go hear her. She gave a wonderful talk on the art of writing a book and after had a question and answer period. She also signed books for those of us wanting to purchase them. For more information on Carla and her books you can go to this website.
Last night the Sumter Little Theater put on a production of Inherit The Wind. This has always been one of my favorites - book form, movie, plays... I find it fascinating and exciting. So, off I went with a group of friends. An eclectic group at that! A former college biology professor, a current college speech and drama coach (who also performs with the theater group on occassion), and an 86 year old man who is a ballroom dancer and a former performer with the theater group. I enjoyed the play immensely and was very impressed with the caliber of the performances. This play is still relevant today and I would say to anyone who can get out to see it that it's worth the $12 ticket!
