Deborah Sharp, formerly a reporter for USA Today and a recent guest on the Today Show, will discuss Mama Sees Stars, the fourth title in her Mace Bauer Mysteries series, set in “Cracker” Florida.
Paula Stahel, past president of the Association of Personal Historians, will present Stories from a Woman’s Life, a workbook on how to record life stories in an appealing and readable fashion.
