Dean Bonner Book Signing 6 December
MACHS 1978 alumnus Dean Bonner is having a book signing at the Monroe Art Guild from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on December 6th. "I Talk Slower Than I Think" has reached worldwide paperback and ebook distribution since its 29 August release. These true tales have garnered strong reviews from such national publications as Reader Views and The Kindle Book Review. Bonner's book is filled with humorous and touching tales of growing up in Georgia in the Sixties and Seventies, with most of the stories set in Walton County. Few people have tried a biscuit so hard firemen had to remove it or waded through a treasure of Confederate money. A child must dodge bobcats to reach the bathroom, and the preacher nearly drowns a sinner in his attempt to cleanse him. Listen to tales of the tasty state record crappie pulled from Tillman's pond on Snow's Mill Road and being surrounded by water moccasins in Jones' Woods. Come out to meet (or reconnect with) the author and swap stories. http://youtu.be/C1-RHjlo6lw

"I Talk Slower Than I Think" Prologue
Author: C. D. Bonner. Cover illustration by Patricia Jean Garrigus.
These 52 Creative Non-fiction stories capture some of the amusing tales and a few tragic moments of growing up in the rural South. A child must dodge bobcats on the way to the bathroom; he tastes a biscuit that is so hard firemen must remove it, and he wades through a treasure of Confederate money. This extended family has quirks and an odd collection of friends whose imagination leads them to do outrageous things. Listen to tales of his second cousin, twice (forcibly) removed. These are true stories for adults and adolescents to enjoy that go beyond Southern humor. The length of these stories makes this book a perfect bathroom reader.
Press Release:
I Talk Slower Than I Think: An Antidote to Helicopter Parenting
True Stories Remind us why we Should go Outside and Play in the Dirt
Camp Hill, AL (PRWEB) 29 August, 2012
Author C. D. Bonner announces the 1 September release of his latest book, I Talk Slower Than I Think.
In 52 Creative Nonfiction stories, author C. D. Bonner reminds grown-ups of simpler, more satisfying times and gives adolescents a chance to discover the fun of exploring the wonders just outside their door.
Most of the stories will make funnybones ache, but a few will make heartstrings feel like fresh sutures. A child tries to eat a biscuit that is so hard firemen must remove it; Sammy the Basset steals a baloney his own approximate size and shape; there is no reset button when a neighbor knifes the ice cream man over a thin dime; and, “A Fine Bordelleaux” moves into the house nestled between a child’s school playground and his church.
I Talk Slower Than I Think chronicles the adventures and misadventures of a Georgia family growing up in the Sixties and Seventies. Although fans of Southern humor will enjoy the flavor, growing up transcends time and place.
The book gives parents permission to park the helicopter, grab Granny’s best tea strainer, and go outside to catch tadpoles with the kids.

Invitation to Dedicating the Community Harmony Garden
For Immediate Release
Camp Hill,AL,November 5th, 2012
The press and public are invited to attend a dedication of the Camp Hill Community Harmony Garden on Saturday, November 17th, 2012 at 12 p.m. The triangular garden, located at the entrance to town at South Main Street and Old Highway 280, was constructed to give residents and visitors a fresh impression of the town. Several volunteers labored extensively to make a welcoming town entrance filled with flowers and interesting landscaping. Two men from the Town of Camp Hill Maintenance Department assisted, as did a member of the Lyman Ward Military Academy Corps of Cadets. A section made of engraved bricks honors and preserves the memories of past and present residents, businesses, churches and other organizations.
Improving the visual image of the town is a small step forward in encouraging new residents to settle and new businesses to choose Camp Hill as a home. In recent years Dollar General, the Hodges Vineyards and Winery, and the CBE Center for Excellence security training center have joined the Camp Hill business community. Several authors, artists, and professors have put down roots in the small town that produced Catherine Rodgers McLain, nationally known author of The Towers Inheritance. Lovely old homes are being restored all over town by retirees returning home and by people moving to Camp Hill for the first time. The former Edward Bell High School will reopen in August 2013 as the Edward Bell (Tallapoosa County) Technical Center, producing workers skilled in welding, health science (nursing and physical therapy), building science, pre-engineering and industrial maintenance.
Come give a vote of confidence for progress.
