Wonder Author, Sad she is gone

I have read everyone of Ms Price books. I still have them all. When she passed, my husband and I went to place yellow roses on her grave. Am going to start reading again. Such pleasure she gave us. This is the only book I do not have of her's. Blessings

Window to the Authors Soul

After visiting St. Simons Island for the past five summers I am hooked. After reading this book I am in the process of reading all the St. Simons books I can find by Eugenia Price. She has made my trips come to life. She talks about places I have visited and I now have a better understanding of how she felt. This book really gets into her soul and I saw a very spiritual person who enjoyed her life. Now when I go I will have a better knowledge of the island. Anyone who gets the chance should read her books and plan a trip to her island. This place has captured my heart and soul and I feel as if it is where I belong. I think this is how Ms. price must have felt. The island has a calming effect and keeps calling one back for more.

Genie Tells How it All Began

I was thrilled when I found this book, and the contents did not disappoint. Ms. Price shares, with her usual humor and spirit, how she and Joyce Blackburn found St. Simons Island, fell in love with its history and natural beauty, and eventually made their home there. She goes on to describe how she came to write her famous St. Simons Trilogy and drew ever more pilgrims to visit her fabled Island. I have now read all her fiction, and visited the Island twice, and I can personally attest to the magic that is St. Simons. If you love Eugenia Price and want insight into her novels, this is an excellent place to start.
