Pen to Paper Writers Series

The Franklin County Public Libraries hosts another one of its popular writers’ programs entitled, “Pen to Paper” on Monday, March 4 at 2 pm at the Carrabelle Branch Library. This session will feature authors Tiffany Jo Howell and Sidsel ‘Sid’ McOmie. The Carrabelle Branch Library is located at 311 St. James Avenue (Hwy 98), Carrabelle, FL.

During the series authors will discuss and share the works they have written and those that are in progress. This will be followed by a question and answer session. These friendly and informal sessions are a chance to meet these area authors and ask questions about their experiences. They are open to anyone interested in learning more about these writers or the writing process. There is no charge to attend and the public is welcome.

Tiffany Howell originally hails from Minnesota but now lives with her husband and cat on Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Since her early days, Tiffany has been telling stories of helping her friends get in trouble and instigating mischief. Maybe she never grew up because children still gravitate to her wherever she goes. Perhaps this is why writing in an easy voice for the younger ones comes naturally to her. Tiffany is the author of The Finder’s Tales: Marco. Tiffany has almost finished working on a new book.

Sid McOmie has been an avid cook for many years,  and cooks not only for friends and family, but also occasionally as an in-house chef. She has authored and published three cookbooks and should have at least two more books published if not more by February. Her currently published cookbooks include Nibbles and Bits, Simple Shrimp Recipes, and Hygge Danish Food. The last showcases her Danish background and the food she learned cooking with her mother. Sid says, “The recipes in the book are mostly the ones that I learned from my mother and ones that I’ve been making most of my adult life. They’re the everyday meals many Danes eat.”
