Will speak about latest release JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Northeast Spruill Oaks Library in Johns Creek will present another of its “meet the author” programs, Thursday, Sept, 26 at 6:30 p.m. Join Cassandra King from L.A. (that’s Lower Alabama, y’all) as she speaks about her newest book, “Moonrise,” and about her life as a popular Southern author. King grew up about as Southern as it gets. She was raised in the small farming community of Pinckard, Ala., on a peanut farm. She decided at an early age that she wanted to be a writer, writing stories she read to her friends at recess.

In the late 1980s, she returned to Montevallo to earn an master’s degree in fine arts where her thesis was what was to become her first novel, “Making Waves in Zion,” published in 1995. Today, she lives in South Carolina with her second husband, novelist Pat Conroy. Her
