Author Brings Short, Short Tales at the AJC Decatur Book Festival 2017

(MENAFNEditorial) Online PR News 15-August-2017 Atlanta, GA From 1 to 3 September 2017, , author of the piece will be joining this year's AJC Decatur Book Festival, a community-based, non-profit event and largest independent festival in the country. Being renowned as one of the five largest festivals in the country, DBF continues to gather world-class authors as well as hundreds of thousands of festival-goers to enjoy book signings, author readings, panel discussions, an interactive children's area, live music, parade, cooking demonstrations, poetry slams, writing workshops, and others. These activities will be happening in and around the historic downtown Decatur square.

"We always knew Atlanta had a thriving writing and book community, but it needed a centerpiece to bring all the parts together", Tom Bell points out as he recalls the history of DBF. It was when Daren Wang hatched a hare-brained idea to establish a festival celebrating the spoken/written word that brought the other dreamers and believers together. Tom Bell founding program director, Linda Harris, Richard Lenz, Alice Murray, Bill Starr and Judy Turner then began brewing the magic.

The DBF got rave reviews shortly after 18 months of hard work and dedication in volunteering full-time, until its commencement over Labor Day weekend back in 2006, which was attended by over 100 authors and 50, 000 people. The success of the event was contributed by the combination of supportive local businesses and restaurants, eager and able volunteers, and the ability to walk easily from venue to venue.

David Pliner is a seventy-seven-year old author who has considered writing a lifelong ambition. His influences are John Mortimer, Hemingway's Nick Adams stories, T.S. Eliot, Percy Shelly, and James T. Farrell. He studied American and British Literature and poetry in college and he is currently working on his first novel. SHORT, SHORT TALES is his debut piece. This is a book that contains different types of stories that tackle different topics. From corruption to pollution, greed, loneliness, discrimination, futility, and sex. Every reader will get different emotions upon reading each story; it is funny, satirical, nostalgic and poignant. Pliner emphasizes that writing is not an easy thing to do, but he hopes that every reader enjoys each story as much as he enjoyed writing them.

BookBlastPro will represent the author at the AJC Decatur Book Festival. The festival-goers and other authors will have the opportunity of getting first-hand information about Pliner and his piece, SHORT, SHORT TALES. They will also get bookmarks and an opportunity of photo documentation which will be released after the event. The book selling will be announced at the event.

AJC Decatur Book Festival Bookzilla, David Pliner's book and the rest of the fun activities will make this event a literary powerhouse that will delight the attendees and will make this annual event a huge success, as what Tom Bell expressed: "That's what the festival does best."
