Visit Me at Locally Grown Words Book Fair

December 7, 2013

I’ll be at the Locally Grown Words Book Fair at East End Market in Orlando’s Audubon Park next weekend with plenty of copies of Beauty Lessons, Flame and Behind Every Door for sale (Hold Still will not be out till March). Signed books make great holiday gifts, and dozens of local authors will be on hand. The event will be Sunday, Dec. 15, from noon to 4 p.m., at 3201 Corrine Drive. I hope to see you there. And it gets even better — a new independent bookstore, Bookmark It, is opening next month at East End Market. It will specialize in local authors.

“Terry Godbey’s poems are carefully deployed, personally revealing, and shamelessly boy-crazy. In the best of them, she leads the reader through the doors of adolescence and into the house of poetry.” — Billy Collins
