Come meet these two authors and listen to them record a radio show at City Lights Bookstore at noon on Sunday, March 21st.  Here's their press release about the Southern Wing and a Prayer Tour:

Authors River Jordan and Shellie Rushing Tomlinson were challenged by a mutual fan to join forces and take their respective radio selves on the road to interview book sellers, book clubs, readers and yes – even each other - as they create shows focused on great storytelling. The challenge has been accepted and The Southern Wing and A Prayer Tour will be arriving in the nearabout’s of your hometown spring 2010.

Book lovers will not want to miss out on the storytelling fun run as River and Shellie’s charge across seven states reading from Saints In Limbo and Suck Your Stomach In and Put Some Color On, interview each other with surprise questions and comments at every stop, talk to book clubs about their favorite new reads, and query those great unsung hero’s – the booksellers themselves about just how they found themselves supporting thousands of writers and millions of written words every year, all of which will be featured in upcoming radio programs.
The Southern Wing and a Prayer Tour will include –

• Daily giveaways to tour trackers

• Live Interviews

• Podcast uploads

• YouTube daily postings

• Twitter/Facebook tracking and postings
River Jordan

Bio
- River Jordan is first and foremost, a storyteller. Whether the stories that unfold reflect her faith, her love of literature, or the humor with which she unrolls her southern heritage. Her fiction novels have be hailed and acclaimed by some of the finest literary voices of the day. Kirkus reviews said of her second novel, The Messenger of Magnolia Street, “A beautifully written, atmospheric tale.” Her third novel, Saints In Limbo has been painted as "a lyrical and relentlessly beautiful book," and by Paste Magazine as “A Southern Gothic Masterpiece.” Both on the air and off, River weaves stories together with a dry wit, a bit of irony and a dead-eye aim for finding the truth. As a radio producer and host of her weekly ‘literary jam session,’ Jordan features reviews, interviews, and news of the publishing world every Wednesday 12-2 pm on WRFN Nashville 107.1fm or world wide live and streaming at www.riverjordanlive.com As a loved and much sought after speaker, Ms. Jordan invites audiences, readers and listeners to tune-in to their own stories and to treasure the unfolding moments of their lives.

Bio - 
As an infant, Shellie Rushing Tomlinson had one of the earliest cases of appendicitis ever documented. Fifty-four doctors came to Natchez, MS to study her case. In retrospect, Shellie believes it may have been better had they studied her brain for she admits to hearing voices. After briefly considering medication Shellie chose a career in storytelling to give them all a chance to be heard. It's working out pretty well. Today this author, speaker, newspaper/magazine columnist, and Belle of All Things Southern entertains audiences on the radio, TV, and web, in a full out celebration of the South with a heavy emphasis on faith, friends, and family. Shellie’s gift is mining the exquisite from the ordinary. A list of the radio affiliates airing Shellie’s daily segments can be found at All Things Southern.com along with her weekly video porch chat. Shellie also produces and hosts All Things Southern LIVE each Fri. morning from 8:00 to 9:00 A.M. CST on FOXFM 92.7 out of northeast LA. The show streams live and podcasts are archived so everyone can join Shellie’s southern celebration. Whether sharing her love of story, interviewing radio guests, or interacting with readers thru Facebook and Twitter, Shellie’s passion for life has proven to be highly contagious. Shellie’s first Penguin Group USA release, Suck Your Stomach In and Put Some Color On was chosen as a SIBA Nonfiction Book of the Year 2009 finalist
