Carolyn Hart (Letter from Home,
Death on Demand series)

The Festival was a smashing success. Everyone I met was delightful...I predict the Festival will become a premier book festival in the nation. It deserves to be. I will always remember Amelia Island with a smile.

 

Susan Vreeland (The Passion of Artemesia, Girl in Hyacinth Blue)

 ...The Festival was a tremendous experience for me, especially in offering opportunities to make connections with readers.

 

Bob Morris (Jamaica Me Dead, Bahamarama)

 ...Had a great time. The sessions were lively, the people nice as could be. Y'all do such a fine job and I thank you for including me.
