A LOOK AHEAD TO OUR NOVEMBER 15 MEETING...
Please plan to join us in November, when you'll have an opportunity to get your book signed and discuss the book with author Donna Glee Williams, whose latest novel, The Night Field, is our selection. The November meeting will be held on the third Wednesday of the month in order for our schedule to coincide with the author's, and our meeting will be extended to end at 3:00 that day to allow more time to visit.
Donna Glee Williams was born in Mexico, the daughter of a Kentucky farm-girl and a Texas large-animal veterinarian. She graduated from Tulane University, then earned an MFA and PhD from Louisiana State University, but it was really her years of wayfaring across twenty countries and four continents that led her to her novels, The Braided Path, Dreamers, and The Night Field. The Night Field, specifically, was inspired by studying pesticide issues among heroic cotton farmers in India on a Fulbright in 2008.
Donna Glee has worked as turnabout crew on a schooner, librarian, environmental activist, registered nurse, educator, editor, and creative coach, but these days she mostly walks in the woods, writes, and leads dream groups from her little cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, waiting for Mystery to tap her on the shoulder, forever drunk on the isoprene exhalations of the trees.
