Ghost Orchid book signing: Saturday, February 6 Noon
D. K. Christi signs the book, Ghost Orchid, inspired by D. K. Christi's fascination with the ghost orchid of Corkscrew Swamp that was first seen on her birthday in 2007 and was chronicled by the Naples Daily News in 2008, the second year of her visits to the ghost orchid and the year the novel, Ghost Orchid, was submitted to her publisher.
The signing at B&N is just one stop on the book launch tour. Ghost Orchid is found at local Barnes & Noble stores, www.dkchristi.com, and all online book stores and e-book sites.
Valentine's Day catching up with you? Take the Ghost Orchid walk with your signed book by D.K. Christi and experience the locations shared by the characters in a mystery unfolding, one coincidence at a time. One flower; four destinies wrapped around the ghost orchid. The fascinating boardwalk won't reveal the real ghost orchid until late June or early July, but you may enjoy the walk itself and experience the serenity and peace shared by the characters whose lives in Ghost Orchid find redemption and the answer to their question, "Is love eternal?"
What a book to commemorate Valentine's Day! Love, lies and redemption surround the ghost orchid, the "heart and soul" of the novel according to NPR's audio review at its Florida Book Page web site. It's a "must read" for those who love the Everglades and wonders of nature. » By D. K.Christi, image uploaded on Feb. 6 2010 In Collier County Calendar |
