Upcoming Meetings
January 16, 2025
We are excited to welcome author John B. Edwards for his
presentation, “The Past is Never Dead:” The Veil of Historical
Fiction on the Georgia Coast on Thursday, January 16 at 7 p.m.
John describes his presentation saying, "The talk will discuss
the historical basis for my three novels written about McIntosh,
Long, and Chatham County during the era of mid to late 20th
century."
John B. Edwards has over 45 years of law enforcement experience
that covers general law enforcement functions at the local and
state levels. John started as a uniformed patrol officer,
retired from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation as a SAC, and
then served four years as a chief deputy sheriff. John is the
author of four books and many national and international
publications regarding criminal investigation, police
operations, leadership, and management.
John is also the author of “Sunlight over the Marshes” a novel
focusing on drug smuggling in coastal Georgia in the 1970s,
“Darkness under the Oaks” a novel about organized crime in
Georgia, and Winds through the Pines” a novel about Rural Long
County, Georgia, and a corrupt Judge.
“Sunlight over the Marshes” is a story where fiction meets
history in McIntosh County in the days just before Interstate 95
changed everything. If you have spent time in McIntosh, you will
recognize people, places, and events that make this story an
eerily familiar easy read.
