Had a great time at the B&G club. We did three lectures each and the children really supported the Amelia Island Book Festival. Here are some pictures of the event and the other authors who gave lectures were: Jennifer Armentrout, Kentrall Martin, and Laura Duksta.
Folks,
I have to say that my trip to NYC in October was one of the most exciting events, Italian-American Author march, that I have been a part of in my entire life. The whole parade experience was amazing, plus the folks in NYC were so wonderful. My Italian-American heritage is one of my most important topics that I share with just about everyone. Please click on the below link to read the letter and see all the pictures of this great event.
I had the most wonderful time at the Amelia Island Genealogical Society speaker event. Over 33 people showed up and what a great crowd. Even after the speaking event there were loads of questions and answers. One of the best events ever and more to come. Follow the link for more information on this great turnout.

Speaker:
J. R. Sharp
“Feeding the Enemy” is based on the true story of an Italian family’s determination to survive in the face of evil during World War II. It is a story of perseverance, ingenuity and love. This book captures the spirit of survivability against all odds and provides the reader with an appreciation of what Europeans went through during the war to end all wars.
I hope everyone has had an excellent holiday season! Great news to put out. Looks like the second book, Breaking From the Enemy, will be released in 2018. More details to will follow, but we here at the J.R. Sharp camp are excited. The second book will be an exceptional read!! I will be posting the reviews as they start to come back to the Sharp camp.
I am excited to report that Feeding the Enemy was selected for the “Authors in Schools Literacy Program” by the Amelia Island Book Festival committee. We will be at West Nassau High School on 16 February 2018.
Folks, I have been doing book festivals for well over a year. I can tell you this one was one of the best! Nice folks, easy access, great support team and most of all I sold a lot of books. Lets do this one again!!
It was honor to be selected with two other award winning authors (Kathryn Bain and Marc Little) to discuss our books and publication process. I learned a lot and can’t wait to participate in the next one. Thanks JPL!!!!
Folks, the weather was a little wet but what a great time in NYC. Here are some photos:
Mr. Riggio, owner and founder of the Barnes and Noble corporation, is going to be the Grand Marshal for the Columbus Day Parade in New York City on 9 October 2017, http://prn.to/2uRUZy3. This year’s theme is, Celebration of Italian-American authors. I was selected to participate and so was my most recent book, FEEDING THE ENEMY (Honorable Mention in 2017 Florida Book Festival). During my stay in NYC, I will be participating in the parade, a social media campaign to promote my book and Jacksonville, Florida.

It is my honor and privilege to share this ad which will be in New York Times on 01 October 2017. I will be participating in the greatest parade in America, “The Columbus Day Parade” on October 9, 2017. As a child and adult, I always enjoyed watching the parade when I lived in New Jersey and New York. I can’t wait to be part of history.
“Feeding the Enemy” has been a great project and so has my second book “Breaking from the Enemy!”
