July 2010 Exhibitors
Thanks to all of our participating exhibitors in our 29th Annual School! Your presence and energy greatly contributed to the Spirit of our event. We hope to see you next year!
Gerald Webster, Author of IN-SIGHT, Booksigning
"Ward McNulty had it all: his own syndicated column, the love of a beautiful woman, and powerful friends --including congressional hopeful, Chet Garner. But when Garner convinces him to back the conversion of a sleepy island town to an exclusive resort, it pits Ward against his father in a bitter legal battle.
"IN-SIGHT is the story of fall, forgiveness, and redemption...of deeply instilled family values triumphing over impossible odds... and of a lost son coming home. It's for anyone who believes that a Higher Power has a hand in destiny, and is not completely surprised when that Power draws back the curtain for a brief instant and allows a glimpse at another reality."
IN-SIGHT was the recipient of the 2nd Place Award for the Creative Arts Council's 2009 Book Awards, Award Winner, 2009 Reader’s Favorite and Reader Views, 2009 Reviewer’s Choice Award.
Gerald Webster has been a Peace Corps volunteer, a soldier, a businessman, and an addictions counselor. Most of all: he's a husband to his wife, Anne, and a father to their 5 children. Jerry Webster still lives with his wife in Jacksonville, FL.
The proceeds from the sale of his award winning book, IN-SIGHT, will be donated to the Florida School of Addictions Studies.
The Florida School of Addictions Studies greatly appreciates Jerry's contribution to the school and are pleased to have him at our school. We hope our students will enjoy meeting with him and enjoy his book as much as we here at the FSAS have.
