"Highlands-A-Go-Go" Book Launch
Friday, January 15; 7 pm

Callanwolde Fine Arts Center will sponsor the launch of a new novel, "Highlands-A-Go-Go: Finding Virginia-Highland" with a wine-and-cheese reception and a reading by the author. The event will be held in the Samuel Goldman Retreat, located on the Callanwolde grounds at 980 Briarcliff Rd. Atlanta.

The book, by local author DM Paule, is set in Atlanta's Virginia Highland neighborhood. "Depending on who you talk to, Virginia-Highland is an entertainment district; a left-wing, political powerhouse; or a state-of-mind. The goal of this book is to preserve a moment in time," says Paule. Paule is also the author of the highly successful novel "The Monarch of Key West", published in 2001.

Books will be available to be purchased and signed by the author. Reservations are required, and a tax-deductible contribution of $20 will go to benefit Callanwolde's arts programming.

For reservations, contact Jane Edwards at 404-872-5338 ext. 240, or by email: jedwards@callanwolde.org   For more information about the book visit http://www.highlandsagogo.com/
