Mae Nunn Publishes Another "Texas Treasures" Novel
Anyone who is familiar with Coweta author Mae Nunn knows that, although she now has resided in Georgia for many years, her heart is still in her native Texas, or, as Lifestyles magazine put it last month in their article about Southside writers, "You can take the girl out of Texas, but you cannot take Texas out of the girl" !! It is for this reason that she launched her series of Texas Treasures Romance Novels in 2005. The fifth in this series has just been published, A Texas Ranger's Family, which has just received at 4.5 star rating from Romantic Times.
When Mae goes to book signings she dresses like a Texas cowgirl, but this is NOT an act! She dresses that way because that is what she is! She also is not kidding when on her website there is a picture of a cowgirl boot accompanying her motto of "Inspiration With a Kick", because her particular genre is inspirational romance, most of which is in the Texas Treasures series. Speaking of websites, hers is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and there is good info there on her and all of her books. Information on her latest book as well as her earlier ones can also be found on www.amazon.com. Her website address is www.MaeNunn.com.
Nunn is a member of the Coweta Writers Group. Her books are published by Steeple Hill. She recently retired from her job and is now planning on writing two books per year instead of one.

Newnan Theatre's Publicity Director Dianne Olsen has released this announcement about their upcoming play about Jimmy Dean: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWNAN COMMUNITY THEATRE COMPANY CONTACT: DIANNE OLSEN, 770-683-6282 James Dean Fan Club Reunion Time In the early 1950s there was a charismatic and handsome actor who lit up the screen. His name was James Dean. From starring roles in "Rebel Without a Cause," "East of Eden," and "Giant", he was quite famous and popular. He reached legendary status when, at the age of 24, he was killed in a car crash in California. The next show on Newnan Community Theatre Company's main stage is "Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" by Ed Graczyk. The comedy/drama, set in 1975, brings together a reunion of the "Disciples of James Dean" a fan club for the teen idol. The women returning for the reunion include Mona (played by Terri Morrison) who claims she had James Dean's love child; Sissy (Judie Hardin), a wise-cracking truck stop worker; Stella May (Rebecca Lanyi) who married into money; and the sweet, kind Edna Louise (Tami Savage). Things really start moving when a stranger (Marsha Elzey) arrives in the five and dime with secrets to reveal. The story slides back to the eventful night of James Dean's death, September 30, 1955 when the women were teens. The teens are portrayed by Jessica Kiel (Mona), Kristin Owens (Sissy), Kelsey Gentry (Stella May) and Jordan Owens (Edna Louise) Supporting actors include Sharon Somolik and Levi Gentry, playing the five and dime manager and the only male member of the "Disciples". The play is being directed by NCTC's Artistic Director, Darren Mathews. Bert Lyons is the Stage Manager and Susan Patterson is the Producer.
