Coweta Author Mae Nunn Latest Texas Romance Novel Is Out !

 

Book Sigining To Be Held on Saturday In PTC

 

     Although Mae Nunn has lived in Georgia for some time now, her heart is still in her native Texas.  This is very clear from the series of Texas Romance novels she writes each year.  Her latest, Lone Star Courtship, has just been published.  (See her announcement below.)

 

     Mae also loves to meet people and talk about her books and autograph them.  And this also gives her a chance to dress up in her cowgirl outfit.  It is not surprising that she was one of the participants in last year's Coweta Authors Book Signing Extravaganza or that she is wasting no time in signing her latest book:  she will be doing so on Saturday May 17 from 4:30 through 6:00 PM at Omega Books in Peachtree City.

 

     For a delightful experience of learning about Mae and her books see her at the signing or visit her gorgeous website www.MaeNunn.com.
