Some of the authors of Stone Mountain Christmas

A Stone Mountain Christmas

Stone Mountain, GA – Gilded Dragonfly Books is proud to announced the publication of our newest anthology, A Stone Mountain Christmas.

Author Joey Hancock

Embroidered stories and Christmas tales…

Try to retrieve your own memories of Christmas. They might involve a tree, a special church service, gifts, food and perhaps, the memory of a special item that made its way out of a box each year. For Grayson’s Writer-in-Residence, Joey Hancock, Christmas stories are as much a part of the fabric of a Christmas memory as his mother’s embroidered poinsettia tablecloth. In fact, it was that embroidered tablecloth that led him to describe the stories he tells as “embroidered truths.”

Haywood Smith – Offering hope and laughter

New York Times Best Selling Local Author shares hope and laughter about serious women’s issues

After having lots of orthopedic problems as a child, I learned to read at a very early age as a means of escape.  I loved historical novels and biographies and science fiction and almost any kind of fiction–as long as the books had happy endings.  I kept reading voraciously till I graduated high school, including the entire Great Books Collection that belonged to my parents.  I had no idea then that those books and the study questions in back would end up being my education in classical literature, philosophy, and science.
