April 22, 2010: Authors Judith Barban and Charlie Burnette

Come-See-Me Program on Thursday April 22, 2010 at 4:00 p.m.
Literary Festival with Judith Barban and Charlie Burnette

Authors Judith Barban (language professor and concert pianist) and Charlie Burnette (Rock Hill attorney and performing artist) read from their new novels and give presentations about their work.



Judith Barban

Judith Barban, linguist, French professor, and concert pianist, lives in Tega Cay, SC with her husband and fellow pianist Eugene.

Her research into the mediaeval writings of Marie de France, her music, and passion for fishing in the Canadian wilderness have inspired fiction about relationships and the beauty of nature.

Her novel Poplar River won the 2009 Southeastern Writers Contest.

Charlie Burnette, attorney, actor, dancer, tri-athlete, and father of four lives in Rock Hill, SC, with Marcia, his wife of thirty years.

Decades of practicing law have given him deep insights into human nature and its dark side... His observations have triggered fiction exploding with anger, fear, redemption, and justice.

His 2009 novel Manipulation by Degree  won acclaim and rapidly sold out.
Charlie Burnette
