Mary Ann Claud, author of novels The Dancin’ Man and Whirlygig: The Dancin’ Man’s Daughter, will introduce her latest novel in the series, Alex Dances, with a reading and discussion at a Lanier Library Author’s Tea, Thursday, March 28 at 3 pm.  

 

Alex Dances follows the fourth-generation heir to a large, sprawling southern family through changes to their world from within and without.  It is a welcome addition for all those who enjoyed entering the lives of the Ward family in the first two novels. 

 

Claud engages readers in all settings, but prefers presentations that evolve into question and answer sessions about not only her fictional Ward family, but also about the creative writing process as a tool for self-expression and communication. 

  

The Author’s Tea @ Lanier is free and open to all. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Tea and refreshments will be served.
