DEBARY, Fla. -- Marcia Meara will host a tea, luncheon and book signing from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at DeBary Hall Historic Site, 198 Sunrise Blvd., DeBary.

Meara, who announced her desire to become an author at age 5, began pursuing her dream with the publication of “Wake-Robin Ridge” three years ago at age 69. Six novels and a book of poetry later, she’s still going strong.
Her books, which are available on Amazon in print and Kindle format, include “Wake-Robin Ridge,” “A Boy Named Rabbit: Wake-Robin Ridge Book 2,” “Harbinger: Wake-Robin Ridge Book 3,” “Swamp Ghosts: A Riverbend Novel,” “Finding Hunter: Riverbend Book 2” and “Summer Magic: Poems of Life & Love.”
