PRICE MAKES FALL OF FAME

Former St. Simons Island resident and historical novelist Eugenia Price will be inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame at its 2017 ceremony in November, along with two poets and a scholar of Southern culture. The ceremony will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, November 6, in the auditorium of the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries, located at 300 S. Hull Street, Athens, Georgia. Established by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, the hall honors Georgia writers past and present. Eugenia Price’s St. Simons Trilogy is on the list of 25 books every Georgian should read, according to the Georgia Center for the Book. Best known for her historical fiction, Price was awarded a Governor’s Award in the Humanities in 1988 for her novels which helped to preserve the history of coastal Georgia. Price began writing for daytime serials at 23, starting her own production company in 1945. She became well-known in the radio broadcast business, leading to her next career as an inspirational speaker and author. During her first visit to St. Simons Island in 1961, Price became captivated by the story of a young minister on St. Simons in the 1880s and began research for a novel. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, “What was to be one novel … turned into three, and with the St. Simons Trilogy – her first fiction – Price, who later made the island her home, defined herself as a historical novelist who devoted months, sometimes years, to researching her subjects and the era in which they lived.” For more information on Eugenia Price or the Price-Blackburn Foundation, contact Eileen Humphlett at ehumphlett@gmail.com.
