The Quiet Dell School House Co-Op will open at 10 AM to showcase area authors on hand to discuss their books and writing. A special featured duo of writers, Daleen Berry and Geoff Fuller will be there to discuss their current best seller, Pretty Little Killers, an account of a recent area murder much in the national news. Other authors on hand will include Robert Yoho, Charlene Snead, and Michael Knost. They will discuss their writing process, and sign their books. Their use of varied subject matter includes western, Christian romance, poetry, scary stories and History. At 2 PM Phyllis Wilson Moore will present a discussion and power point presentation of our area’s history of writers. Among others, Moore is sure to include Harrison County’s Davis Grubb, whose 1950s novel was made into a movie, The Night Of The Hunter, featuring Robert Mitchum as a preacher murderer who embodied a sort of grotesque side of rural West Virginia in the 1920s. West Virginia has encouraged many writers to incorporate our culture into their stories; some well known, some yet to be discovered. Book signings. Discussion of history and culture in West Virginia and Harrison County. Quiet Dell, Harrison County, A Community of the Future.
