March

DELTA BLUES Anthology Launch Party

Location: Ground Zero Blues Club -- March 27
Clarksdale, MS

DELTA BLUES, edited by Carolyn Haines, features fiction by James Lee Burke, John Grisham, Charlaine Harris, Ace Atkins, and other writers, plus a foreword by actor Morgan Freeman, the star of such box office hits as The Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby, and Driving Miss Daisy. Freeman, who lives in his native Mississippi, is the founder of the Rock River Foundation, a grantmatching charitable organization that strives to improve education in the state.

One dollar from the sale of each book, which is being released simultaneously in hardcover and in trade paper, will be donated to the Rock River Foundation, which in turn will earmark the funds for literacy efforts in the Delta. On March 27, the press will host a launch party at Freeman’s Clarksdale, Miss. blues club, Ground Zero, for Delta Blues. Forty percent of the proceeds from book sales at this event will be given to the Rock River Foundation. (-- From Publishers Weekly)
