               The Carolina Mountains Literary Festival 2009
             11-12 September 2009 Burnsville, North Carolina

The Fourth Annual Carolina Mountains Literary Festival will take place on September 12 and 13. We all come from somers els, writes Gloria Houston in Little Jim. Rather than a melting pot, we are a Mountain Mosaic created by the many vibrant colors and heritages that make up Western North Carolina. We celebrate our individual differences and as a mosaic we express through the individuality of each piece a more beautiful whole.
Praise from the 2008 Festival was very generous and folks commented about the wonderful program this year. "Excitement upon seeing the presenters' work and wanting to read and learn more, "enthusiasm was HUGE, and attendees supported the authors in a way never seen at other festivals" were just some of the responses heard. We hope to continue to lead minds in new directions and have hearts take in our beloved community with this year's event
