Books-A-Million in Peachtree City, GA, Next Stop for Spirited Southern Author, Darlene Ford Wofford

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 7, 2007 -- The book tour continues for Atlanta's own Darlene Ford Wofford, author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember." The spirited southern novelist will be discussing and signing her novel Friday evening, December 7, 6--8:00 at Books-A-Million in Peachtree City, Georgia. The store is located in The Avenue at Peachtree City, 258 City Circle, 30269. Their phone number is 770-632-1296.

Based on true events in the her life, "An Assignment to Remember" is the first of three novels in the author's "Edgewise" series, with "Seven Years 'Til Sunrise," scheduled for release next year, followed by the third in 2009-10. The term "Edgewise" is used to describe the book's protagonist as a young Atlanta woman whose mind has shut down to block out back-to-back traumatic events, however other memories of her life are blocked, as well. Told through the eyes of the author's alter ego, "An Assignment to Remember" is not as much about the events as it is the inspiring story about triumph over tragedy, her healing progression and the prevailing strength of unconditional love.

To quote Page One Lit literary newsletter, "Wofford is a wonderful writer whose personality and charisma is vivid in every word and sentence in her new book, 'Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember.' This is the most honest, heart-inspiring book of the year." The Midwest Book Review describes the novel as, "An inspired tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and of working through a process of recovery to overcome the wounds that life can inflict upon us without warning." Denna Shelton of Twenty Gems sums it up nicely in her review, "Edgewise took me on an emotional journey of laughter, sorrow and hope."

Both Darlene and Carl, her husband of 40-plus years are Atlanta natives currently residing in Acworth, Georgia. They have two sons, Kenneth and Cory. If the name Darlene Wofford sounds familiar it may be because she stays mighty busy in and around Atlanta and the northern suburbs. She was in the mortgage finance industry for 20 years, and now as a certified image consultant she owns Image Consulting Services and is the London Image Institute's Graduate Division Director. She is an officer for both the Marietta Chapter of Toastmasters International, and the Atlanta Chapter of the AICI (Association of Image Consultants International).
