Borders Presents Darlene Ford Wofford, aka 'The Spirited Southerner', in Encore Book-signing Event

Marietta, GA (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- Darlene Ford Wofford, the spirited southern author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember," will be greeting guests, discussing and signing her novel at Borders Bookstore, located in Marietta, Georgia's The Avenue East Cobb. This Saturday, November 3rd, will be an encore appearance for the author at this location, and the event will run from 1-4:00, phone number 770-565-0947. The Avenue East Cobb is located at 4475 Roswell Road, Marietta, GA 30062 (one block west of Johnson Ferry Road).

Based on true events in her life, "An Assignment to Remember" is the first of three novels in the author's "Edgewise" series, with "Seven Years 'Til Sunrise" scheduled for release in 2009-10. The term "edgewise" is used to describe the book's protagonist as a spirited young Atlanta woman whose mind has shut down to block out back-to-back traumatic events. However, other memories are blocked as well. Told through the eyes of the author's alter ego, "An Assignment to Remember" is not as much about the events as it is the inspiring story about triumph over tragedy, her recovery as a healing progression, and the prevailing strength of unconditional love. To quote Page One Lit literary newsletter, "Wofford is a wonderful writer whose personality and charisma is vivid in every word and sentence in her new book, 'Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember.' This is the most honest, heart-inspiring book of the year. 'Edgewise' is an example of how one woman wants to live in the past but realizes she can't. It is about confronting reality. It is about emotions. It is about communication. It is about life." Jim Cox of the MidWest Book Review describes the novel as "An inspired tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and of working through a process of recovery to overcome the wounds life can inflict upon us without warning." Denna Shelton, Producer of Twenty Gems®, sums it up rather nicely in her review, "Edgewise took me on an emotional journey of laughter, sorrow and hope."

If the name Darlene Wofford rings a bell it may be because every Saturday morning in 2006 from 10-11:00 a.m., she co-hosted an hour-long Atlanta radio talk-show called "Your Inner Voice." She has also been interviewed on several Atlanta radio stations recently regarding her novel. She and Carl, her husband of 40+ years are both Atlanta natives, and along with sons Kenneth and Cory, have been Woodstock/ Acworth residents for over 35 years. She has been involved with the mortgage finance industry for 20 years, and since 2004 she has been a certified image consultant and president of "Imagize"--pronounced "image-ize--Consulting Services." She explains that she combined the words "image" and "energize" and it means "To Energize Your Image."
