The Friends of Smyrna Library submitted the following announcement:

The Friends of Smyrna Library will host beloved Smyrna novelist Pamela Terry for an evening of conversation and community.

The event, scheduled from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025, at the Reed House, will feature a thoughtful discussion with Terry, known for her beautifully crafted Southern fiction. Guests will enjoy light refreshments, a book signing, and the opportunity to connect with fellow readers in a cozy, intimate setting.

A lifelong Southerner, Terry learned the power of storytelling at a very early age. She is the author of The Sweet Taste of Muscadines and the internationally popular blog From the House of Edward, which was named one of the top ten home blogs of the year by London’s The Telegraph.

“Pamela Terry has made a name for herself as a powerful storyteller, and we are delighted she will be sharing her insights with the Smyrna community,” said Shannon McCray, secretary of the Friends of Smyrna Library and the event’s organizer. “The Friends of Smyrna Library has been looking forward to welcoming Pamela Terry for a while, and we know it will be a one-of-a-kind evening that the Smyrna community will relish.”

Terry lives in Georgia with her songwriter husband, Pat, and their three dogs, Apple, Andrew, and George. She travels to the Scottish Highlands as frequently as possible.

Thanks to the support of Annell Garcia Gerson of Book Miser, guests will be able to pre-order Pamela Terry’s books, with reserved copies available at the event. To pre-order copies, please visit square.link/u/6jMKh5cv.
