Yep, True Story! is back at Kavarna, starting August 19th. You know you want to drop by for a night of nonfiction reading with artifacts, some hilarity, some awe, some camaraderie, and oh yes, good beer, wine, food, seeing as how it's held at a very friendly restaurant and bar in Oakhurst, and they have these things.
A pending blog post will be called "Food Crimes," and will fill you all in on the VERY FIRST visit by me to "that Scottish restaurant," the one with the clown (do they even still have the clown?) and the arches and a very whole lot of sausage, which I don't eat. I had coffee, orange juice, and a breakfasty thing with too much sugar and hot air. Because I was staaarving and I needed coffee really alot and I was in between small towns with more small towns coming at me, and it was dawn.
When I was done, I was still staarving, and alarmed at the amount of sausage people consume.
(Because all plots are driven by conflict, I do have to say that while I do not eat their food, their residential facilities at childrens' hospitals, to allow parents to stay nearby for extended periods, are truly valuable. Makes up for the sausage?)
About Me

- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Where, exactly, is Oakhurst? Is it in Atlanta? You can email me the answer to kmtcamp@gmail.com.
Thank you. And Look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Hi, Kathy. Oakhurst is a neighborhood in Atlanta, between Decatur and Kirkwood, along the Memorial Drive corridor. Check the TrueStory! link in the post for directions.
