Do you know people from the Bourbon County area who have written a book?

My efforts to author my first book have given me a great admiration for everyone who has endured the labor of being an author. My book will be published within a couple of months but I am trying to compile a list of area authors to give them a pat on the back. Please visit my blog Jimmy Brannon blog and post your information. I am aware, of course, of David/Lalie Dick, Tom Leach and Barbara Kingsolver and a few others. If you know of others please post your information so I can compile a full list. Once complete the list will be published in The Bourbon County Citizen.

I am a former resident of Paris and Bourbon County and a 1979 graduate of Bourbon County High School. I am a Police Officer in Clinton Ia. For extra assignments, I am Field Training Officer, an Evidence Tech, a Bike Officer, an Accident Reconstructionist and a Member of the SWAT team. I was the first female tactical officer in Iowa. My most important duties are that of a street officer working patrol. I have written a book called "Shades of Blue". It is about the situations that police officers deal with on a day to day basis. It portrays the emotional roller coaster that police officers experience. The book is currently at my publisher and hope to have it available in 4-6 months.

Thanks for you comment. Check back here often. I plan on eventually making this in addition to other things, a sort of clearing house for authors, readers in the immediate three of four county area. This should be benificial to all the authors i can locate. Feel free to make any suggestions you can think of. Thanks again

Both Brent Kelley of North bygosh Middletown and Marilyn Dungan of Vine Street have written multiple books. I am writing my own book on how to seduce back into the fold, lapsed Bourbon County IrishAmerican Catholics with IQs of over 90.

THE COMMON SENSE BLOG The Common Sense Blog is authored by Jimmy Brannon and such other guests who may appear from time to time and is born out of a need for an independent voice based on common sense on a variety of topics. Jimmy Brannon is a Kentucky lawyer, an editor of his family's newspaper which the family has owned since the 1940's spanning three generations, former elected city official and most importantly the father of a child who died of cancer at age 13, Brannon published a book about his son's battle with cancer which is available at links on the blog. While the blog frequently deals with issues of public concern, there will be periodic deviation from the serious and mundane in favor of comedic, musical or other relief.
