Another Line on My Resume

It’s not like I don’t have anything to do - with two books of my own in final editing, two more in writing process, another in the outline stage, an almost complete screenplay, two books in editing for two other authors, on an active book tour for my latest release, upcoming scheduled speaking engagements and writer’s workshops, working as the social media specialist and website manager for myself and my publisher, posting blogs almost on a daily basis, and an active member in my writer’s club.  And all that is just what I’m doing as a writer.  That doesn’t include all the personal stuff that involves being a wife, mother and friend. So far, I have a full and busy life.  Yesterday, I added a new line to my current resume. 

I am officially the new Book Reviewer for the West Georgia Living Magazine, a bi-monthly print publication of the Times-Georgian, a division of the Newspapers of West Georgia.

I’m really excited about this new endeavor, and can’t wait to see my first review in print.  Hmmm … I wonder if this means I get a free subscription since I’m a Contributing Writer.  I’ll have to find out.  But, I want to encourage all of you to subscribe.  It’s just $24 a year – that’s $2/month.  Why should you subscribe to West Georgia Living Magazine?  Because it’s a wonderful publication that covers a variety of artistic topics like: Life, Garden, Art, Food, People, Poetry, Short Stories and now Book Reviews. 

For all my writer friends out there, a little bird told me that West Georgia Living is currently accepting submissions for short stories (1,000-3,000 words).  If you’d like to send in a submission, here is the address:  Submissions – Amy K. Lavender-Buice c/o Times-Georgian, 901 Hays Mill Road, Carrollton, GA  30117. 

Well, I must get back to work on some of my other projects.  Keep checking back for my first review.  I’ll post it here after it’s released in print.

Till next time,

~T.L. Gray

MILLEDGEVILLE — The Mary Vinson Memorial Library will host a book signing event featuring author T.L. Gray who is promoting her newly published novel “Milledgeville Misfit.”

“Milledgeville Misfit” is about 14-year-old Juniper “Junebug” Summerville who looses her parents and her ability to talk in a car accident. Against her silent protests, she is sent to live in a remote swampland infamous for its ghosts, federal prison and insane asylum. As Junebug struggles with her emotional scars, she begins to heal with help from six other orphans at Dearborn, a once famous Milledgeville Plantation. Just as she begins to enjoy the peace she’s long desired, she finds herself in a fight for her sanity when she stumbles upon a tear in the fabric that separates the possible from the impossible, and she must choose which to believe. The young adult novel deals with grief and healing, and has an ending that leaves the reader with the choice of what to believe.

“Milledgeville Misfit” is Gray’s third published book under Vabella Publishing. Her first published work was in 2009 called “The Blood of Cain,” in which the second edition to the book and sequel, “The Arcainian Series,” will both be released this May. The first book of a young adult series called ‘The Necromancers’ is scheduled to be released in early 2013. “Milledgeville Misfit” will also be featured in the May edition of the “Ghost Voices Magazine,” an international print publication based out of London, England.

The book signing event is slated from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in the downstairs theater area of the public library.

“Milledgeville Misfit” is currently available at Mary Vinson Memorial Library, Barnes & Noble, and on Amazon, Kindle and Nook.
