Lunch with the Author
LWRWC members and guests got together for an Author’s Luncheon on Friday, September 27, 2024, at the Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club. Lorna Collins, a WC member, provided an overview of writing her first children’s book, “Millie Goes to the Big Island”.
Lorna discussed a bit of history of her working life, and her voluminous travels when she retired which sparked her interest in writing a children’s book for her granddaughter, Millie. She provided a glimpse of what it was like talking about the illustrations with an Illustrator that did not have privy to the actual book, learning the colors (and pricing) that attract children to reading material, and finding a publisher.
There were 7 winners of the split-the-pot raffle and 148 books were collected and donated to the HOPE Family Services Book Nook.
