Press Club Presents “Book & Author” Reception

Featuring Area Journalists Dec. 14 at Omni Dallas Hotel

Recalling author C.S. Lewis’ advice that “The great thing is to be always reading,” the
Press Club of Dallas presents “Book & Author, a book sale and signing event featuring
works by more than 20 Dallas area journalists and hosted by the Omni Dallas
Hotel, 555 S. Lamar on Dec. 14 from 6-9 p.m..

 “So many area journalists have written books
in every genre from sports to history, motivational to novels that we thought
it would be fun to gather them all together to sell and autograph their works,”
explained Paul Wahlstrom, president. “Many people see daily bylines or
television personalities and never have a chance to meet them and may not even
know that their favorite journalist has written one or more books that they
might enjoy reading.  A book personalized
by the author is a great gift.”

Local writers who will
participate include Hugh Aynesworth, Kent Biffle, John Browning, Vivian
Castleberry, Mike Cochran, Jim Dent, Rick Gosselin, Harry Hall, Bob Huffaker, Suzie
Humphreys, Ralph Langer, Paula LaRocque, Paul LaRocque, Prudence Macintosh, Allen Manning
Bill Marvel, Bill Mercer, Darwin Payne, Russ Russell, Barry Schlacter,
Bert Shipp, C.W. Smith, Bill Sloan, and Carlton Stowers.

Several of the books deal
with the Kennedy assassination or various aspects of Dallas and Texas history.
Others, written by local sportswriters, tell the tales of specific teams or
events. Former television personality Suzie Humphreys will sign her book, “If
All Else Fails, Laugh”, the story of her battle with breast cancer. Several
local writers have composed mysteries or novels. Every aspiring journalist will
want Paula and Paul LaRocque’s writing and editing handbooks .  Former WFA-TV Assignment
Editor Bert Shipp will offer his book, “Details at 10: Behind the Headlines of Texas Television
History”.

Each author will have a
separate table in the Trinity Ballroom and manage their own book sales. Most
will not accept credit cards. The event is open to the public with a $10
admission fee (cash or check only) that includes light refreshments and a cash
bar. Please make reservations by e-mailing membership@pressclubdallas.com.
