Friends of the Peachtree City Library hosted authors Carole Marsh and Steven Haner for a book reading and discussion f their books in the Floy Farr room at the Peachtree City Library on Jan 15, from 1-3 p.m. Following the program the authors signed copies of their books and refreshments were served. This was a public event.

Local artist Carole Marsh is the founder of Peachtree City’s Gallopade International and the author of the immensely popular Carole Marsh Mysteries, including “America’s National Mystery Book-Series, “Around the World in 80 Mysteries,” and “Masters of Disasters.”

Marsh and her husband, Bob, make their home in Peachtree City; the family manages Gallopade and is also local residents.

Steve Haner is a first time author who will introduce his newly published book, “The Picture”. The inspiration behind “The Picture” occurred some twenty years ago, when horror and wonder visited his sister, who after losing her long awaited first child at the end of term gave birth to premature triplet boys before the year had passed. Those boys graduated from high school in 2008.  As a child Haner discovered an artistic talent that had remained with him throughout his life, serving him well in a variety of endeavors. Haner resides in Coweta County with his wife, and two of their four children.

"According to art therapist Peg Dunn-Snow, PhD, the immediate past –President of the American Art Therapy Association, “The Picture is a compelling tale of redemption and healing.
