Fact & Fiction: Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant plus Patti Lacy talk about telling good stories

With six novels to their credit, Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant, best friends for 25 years, have turned a friendship into one of the most successful and enduring writing collaborations in contemporary fiction.

And Patti Lacy: Patti’s first novel of women’s Christian fiction, An Irishwoman’s Tale, explores the first memories of a feisty woman grappling with scars inflicted by living in two dysfunctional homes. What the Bayou Saw, a novel of deception and secrets that will take a chatty Southerner from Normal, Illinois, back to a Louisiana swamp.

All authors will discuss how to tell a good story, create a best-selling book, what inspires them and what holds them.
