Ginny McKinney
Ginny McKinney will be in Beaufort on Friday, August 16, to sign copies of her book It’s All True Life.
McKinney’s calls the book “a collection of poetry, primarily in free verse and storytelling form.” She believes every day brings its own poetry, and her job as a writer is to capture it. Though she hails from central South Carolina, some of her poems have a distinctly Lowcountry feel.
McKinney says she’s had a love affair with words since she started talking. “I love to watch them come together like friends at a dinner party,” she says. “They fit together comfortably, love to tell a story, and reveal more about themselves over a little time and a little wine.”
Along with her poetry, she Ginny has written two plays – “Busted Wedding Belles” and “More Busted than Ever” – and also enjoys writing sad songs and funny stories.
Ginny credits her husband Greg McKinney with giving her the courage to find her literary voice. She is a native South Carolinian and mother to six fur babies.
Ginny McKinney will sign books at the Beaufort Bookstore on Friday, August 16 from 4 – 6pm. For more information visit www.thebeaufortbookstore.com
