Exciting Writers Festival planned
This year’s Writers Festival takes place on Friday, March
23 at Venice Centre Mall Community Room, 238 Tampa Ave.
The festival begins at 2 p.m. when a panel discusses
“Today’s Youth Market.” Speakers are published authors of childrens
literature, Kim Cool, Clarissa Thomasson and Stacy
DeKeyser.
At 3:30 p.m., the subject shifts to writing and publishing
fiction for adults. Panelists Richard Wickliffe, Diane Sawyer,
Susan Klaus and Don Bruns present “From Inspiration to Publication.”
At 5 p.m., best-selling thriller writer David Hagberg returns
with his third master class, this year focusing on developing real
characters that readers believe in. He will go over how to plot
modern commercial fiction while staying out of trouble and discuss
the problem of time in the novel -- how to dilate and contract
it. The class is designed so participants need not have attended
previously.
Panelist authors will be available to sign their books after
each presentation.
The event culminates in a wine and cheese reception at
6:30 p.m.
The cost of the event is $20 per person.
Space is limited and reservations will be honored in the
order they are received.
Reservations may be made online using Paypal at
http://www.venicebookfair.com/events/ or by sending a check for

A Wonderful Poem - Thanks Pat Reynolds
Who Am I ?
Who am I? Who am I to want you? To want you to be my Friend.
Who am I to take your hand and lead you along the sand .
To hear the ocean’s voice speak softly to the gulls,
To treasure the touch of sea shells under my bare feet,
To take your hand and let it go. Who am I?
I am hiding in the moonlight sheltered by the shadows of the dark;
Waiting in the moonlight for the call of dawn,
to share the dreams of midnight as the sun lifts clouds of mystery , and yawns.
Who am I? The lilt of muffled laughter heard on park wind across the lake, and
nests of birds and buttercups.
Who am I who calls to you, impatient for the answer that eases the struggle of
my soul and my heart’s longing,
Surprised by sound so loud and sincere.
Who am I? Who am I?
I am the lover who passed you by one day then turned and offered you my
friendship.
Who lured you to my dark side - and promised to stay.
I am the one who loves you
and regards your friendship above all other loves I have known.
I am the one who knows you as the stars know the moon.
I am she who loves you but must leave you too soon.
Remember me always, the footsteps in the sand ;
Remember me always, the way I held your hand…
Remember how I loved you. Forever and forever.
Who am I? Who am I to want you? To want you to be my Friend.
Who am I to take your hand and lead you along the sand .
To hear the ocean’s voice speak softly to the gulls,
To treasure the touch of sea shells under my bare feet,
To take your hand and let it go. Who am I?
I am hiding in the moonlight sheltered by the shadows of the dark;
Waiting in the moonlight for the call of dawn,
to share the dreams of midnight as the sun lifts clouds of mystery , and yawns.
Who am I? The lilt of muffled laughter heard on park wind across the lake, and
nests of birds and buttercups.
Who am I who calls to you, impatient for the answer that eases the struggle of
my soul and my heart’s longing,
Surprised by sound so loud and sincere.
Who am I? Who am I?
I am the lover who passed you by one day then turned and offered you my
friendship.
Who lured you to my dark side - and promised to stay.
I am the one who loves you
and regards your friendship above all other loves I have known.
I am the one who knows you as the stars know the moon.
I am she who loves you but must leave you too soon.
Remember me always, the footsteps in the sand ;
Remember me always, the way I held your hand…
Remember how I loved you. Forever and forever.
