Fabulous idea!

I think local author Zachary Steele deserves an invite! Wonderful writer AND owned one of the best book stores Decatur has ever seen.

thanks for the clarification, Daren. Was just getting ready to suggest two more names, and I’ll try to contact them — Leonard Ray Teel, author of “Ralph Emerson McGill: Voices Of The Southern Conscience”, and Joe Earle, whose book was called simply “Decatur.” Both are still Decatur residents, I believe.

Just to be perfect clear, if you’ve got a book with a traditional imprint and a city of Decatur address, then you are invited to be in the photo. Please pass this around.

I don’t claim to know of all the authors in our town, so I need folks to help me get the word out.

And everyone, author or not, should come out for the reception. We can check out Andisheh, and his newly developed muscles.
