Featured Author of the Month!
Vabella Publishing already knew it had an array of talented writers on board, and here is just a trickle of the proof! This month's featured author is:
Eleanor Wolfe Hoomes
Eleanor Wolfe Hoomes - author of Eye of the Beholder and Green Thumbs was nominated for the Georgia Author of the Year Award in Poetry in 2011.
Green Thumbs has been nominated for the 48th Annual Georgia Author of the Year Award in Poetry, and Eye of the Beholder was nominated for the 47th.
That is no easy accomplishment. Everyone here at the Vabella family gives a big Congratulations to Ms. Hoomes.
"I have always been a writer, although, I did not call myself a writer until I started writing poetry twelve years ago. Most of the writing I did prior to poetry was educational. For three years, I wrote a monthly column for a trade newspaper on travel and antiques. Once I started writing poetry, I found that was the genre I enjoyed writing most." ~Eleanor Wolfe Hoomes
Ms. Hoomes has won the Gwin Anderson Oliver Poetry Award.
This accomplished poet is also a member of:
The Carrollton Creative Writer's Club
Just Poetry
West Georgia Writers
Georgia Writer's Association

When asked Ms. Hoomes what was the first thing she remembered writing that encouraged her to become a writer, this is what she had to say: " When I was ten years old, my sixth grade class went on a field trip to a museum, a park and other sites in Montgomery, Alabama. The report I wrote about the trip was read by Miss Thomas, my teacher, at a Crenshaw County teachers meeting. It was passed onto the state level and was published in the AEA newsletter."
Ms. Hoomes' greatest literary influences are: "I have always read widely, both fiction and non-fiction. I'm sure that everything I've read has influenced me in many ways. Some of my favorite poets include Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and Dr. Suess."
Ten years from now Ms. Hoomes hopes to still be writing. We, here at Vabella, have that hope also.
Ms. Hoomes is scheduled to appear on April 18, 2012 at the Rebecca Martin Garden Club at 12pm. You can also catch her reading poetry at any Just Poetry meeting with the Carrollton Creative Writer's Club on the second Wednesday every month at 10am at the Carrollton Cultural Arts Center.
