Diane Pickett, local author of the newly released book, “The Tea Wasn’t Always Sweet,” will be signing copies and meeting with readers in Seaside at Sundog Books on February 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Pickett’s second book, “The Tea Wasn’t Always Sweet,” captivates lovers of Southern history as it chronicles the tortuous path of a fiery and vibrant woman and her kaleidoscope of colorful Southern characters on a march through decades of liberating change for women.
This event is a great opportunity for local residents to meet Pickett, learn more about her books, and purchase a signed copy.
Diane Pickett was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and has lived in the South all her life. This has enabled her to graphically construct the people and events portrayed in her novels and short stories. Her edgy, award-winning debut novel “Never Isn’t Long Enough,” captures almost a century of Southern history as she re-creates the lives of two intense characters and their chaotic journey through life.
Diane grew up in Northwest Florida and attended Florida State University after which she enjoyed a successful career as a medical executive. She has a strong interest in historic preservation and restoration and founded a non-profit organization devoted to those issues. All proceeds from the sale of her books will benefit the DeFuniak Landmarks Fund at the UWF Historic Trust.
