One of our highlights every year is when we gather together to celebrate the Christmas Holiday and to reflect on the year that has passed. Also every year we receive a special plaque commemorating another year that we have been together as a group. This year twenty-seven individuals gathered together for the celebration. It was a wonderful time of exchanging our white elephant gifts, and eating wonderful food. Here are the pictures from that gathering, at “The Village Corner Restaurant “ on Tuesday December 20, 2022. Julie will be presenting and selling her books at these upcoming events. If you are in the area, stop by and support her efforts!

The mountain served to provide the steps to the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC – a mere scratch on this massive piece of granite, and has served a memorial to the Civil War.

 Meet the Author
Saturday, December 10th 11:30 am - 3:30 pm Southern Heartland Art Gallery 1132 Monticello St. Covington Georgia  Clarice is the wife of one husband and has four beautiful daughters, five grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren who live in Maine, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Maryland, and Georgia.
After the death of her husband, Herman, she lived in Assisted Living for three years. She then moved to Georgia to live with her youngest daughter, Gloria. Having been active in the Lord's work in the Church of the Nazarene for over sixty years, she discovered the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Lilburn, Georgia, where she continued to serve the Lord in church attendance and the Women's Ministry. She has made many close friends in the Lilburn Alliance Church who have contributed to her contentment. She says with Paul in Philippians: "I have learned to be content whatsoever state (Maine or Georgia) I am in." She believes she is where she is "for such a time as this." Clarice began writing about her life as a gift to her daughters, but it snowballed as the Lord led her in the writing, often dreaming an entire chapter and getting up to write it. She is quick to say that the Lord wrote the book, and she prays that someone will be blessed by it and choose to walk in the Way.

$19.95
Book 1 of the Miracles of Christ Series This is the author's sixth book and the first in a new series looking at the Miracles of Christ. It is the "Eyewitness" series as it examines the miracles from the perspective of the person receiving the miracle. We often forget that each of these individuals has a story both before and after the miracle. Those people testify to who Jesus Christ is, and what his presence in the lifetime meant to them. My wife Gloria gave me the bible on tape, and it was while listening to the tapes that I first realized the "voices" of the people touched by the miracles. Have you ever taken the time to listen to the voices of the individuals found in the bible who were touched by the miracles of Jesus? The author takes the miracles of Christ, and brings the lives and voices of those touched by Christ to the reader in novel form. What would be the impact of the testimonies of these people if their testimony was discovered outside of the pages of the bible. Would their extraordinary witness make a difference in how you view Jesus? Author has been compared to: C.S. Lewis, J.R. Tolkien and F. Paul Wilson. Also available in Audiobook format!

Book Signing - Woodstock, Georgia 30188 - The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta: Saturday June 29th, 2019
  Alternate Arts: Do you prefer Portia, P. K., or Dr. Wayne?
Portia: I don’t have a preference. It’s kind of awkward to be called Doctor when I’m not in a professional setting. I think it’s easier for kids to call me P. K. So when I do storytelling or anything with younger audiences I definitely go by P. K. Alternate Arts: When did you know you had an interest in writing? Portia: I have always enjoyed writing. Even as a young girl, I would enter into writing and oratorical competitions. I wrote in college for the Spelman Spotlight. After I graduated, I wrote a lot of poetry. And then it was when I was studying for my degree and spending time with my little ones that I began writing stories and actually publishing my books. Alternate Arts: What’s your earliest writing experience? Portia: Wow. I can remember in the second grade I had a horrible experience. I ended up having an accident at school and all of the other kids in my class called me Portia the Pee Pee Princess. I remember going home and being totally embarrassed. After that, I started making stories with Portia the Pee Pee Princess as the main character. She would go have all types of embarrassing debacles. But it was fun. I think it was my way of releasing whatever it was I feeling. At that time, especially, I didn’t think that I fit in. So writing was a way for me to express my feelings without having to talk to others. Alternate Arts: What’s the first thing you remember reading? Portia: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. My mom was very big on reading. I guess that’s why I am such a stickler about reading now. But yeah, I remember being in the first grade and my mom making me read Maya Angelou’s book. I was like five years old with this intense chapter book. Of course, I read picture books before then but that is the first book I can really remember reading... |
