Book Talk & Signing for Bestselling Southern Author Ronda Rich

Greenville, SC, September 6, 2012 - Bestselling Southern author Ronda Rich will be discussing and signing her newest collection of stories, There's a Better Day A-Comin' (Running Press, hardcover, $20.00), at Fiction Addiction (1175 Woods Crossing Rd.) on Tuesday, October 2nd, at 7:00pm. Ms. Rich will talk for 20 minutes, take questions from the audience, and sign books. Tickets are $5.00 but may be redeemed for $5 off any merchandise purchase made that evening.  Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 864-675-0540.

In a time when all the news seems bad, people are searching for a little dose of hope. For those in the thick of troubling times, Ronda Rich offers heaping helpings of comfort and sound advice in There's A Better Day A-Comin'. Here Rich shares stories of courage, spunk, and perseverance that she has either witnessed or (as in the case of Paula Deen and race car champion Dale Earnhardt) learned in conversation with them as they personally told their stories of dark times that turned brighter than their wildest imaginations. Rich knows that there is incredible power in stories, especially those that are true and have strong, wise lessons to impart. Incorporating her Southern storytelling style and vernacular, There's A Better Day A-Comin' is a collection of Rich's feel-good true stories that folks can use for inspiration and encouragement. 

Ronda Rich, bestselling author and syndicated columnist, first exploded on the national stage over a decade ago with the wildly successful What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should), a book now in over 30 printings. The popularity of that book launched her as a storyteller who rivets audiences -- both as a speaker and a writer -- with tales of the South as seen through the eyes of its people. She is also the author of the bestselling What Southern Women Know about Faith, What Southern Women Know about Flirting, My Life in the Pits (a critically acclaimed memoir of her years in NASCAR racing as a reporter and publicist), and the novel The Town that Came A-Courtin', which has been optioned for a movie. There's a Better Day A-Comin' is her newest book.

A former award-winning sports writer, Ronda returned to her newspaper roots in 2003 with a self-syndicated column which appears in over 50 newspapers. Alternating between humorous, sentimental, and wise, she delivers a weekly punch of Southern life to over a million readers who revel in a story well told, one that often is entwined with a moral or lesson learned.

She has appeared on dozens of television shows and networks, including The View, The Other Half, Fox Sports, and CNN, as well as in the pages of Redbook, Cosmopolitan, The New York Times, Washington Post, Southern Living, and Woman's Own.

Ronda and her husband, John Tinker, an Emmy Award-winning television producer and writer, live in the rural countryside outside Atlanta, Georgia.
