Clayton author announces eighth book Submitted by JEAN RICHARDSON WATSON

Clayton author Jean Richardson Watson has announced that her newest book, “The Essence of a Poet,” is set to be released soon. She is the published author of seven books: “Poetry from the Heart,” “Onyx the Butterfly,” “Poetic Expressions,” “A Thief in the Night,” “Inspirational Quotes for Life,” “My Name is Special” and “The Eliminator VS Covid 19.” Watson believes our responsibility is to ensure that all children read more books. As such, she donates books to the Boys and Girls Club on behalf of herself, Keith Vinson and the SSS DIVERSITY nonprofit organization. She also plans to donate additional free books of her most recent book, a superhero book entitled “The Eliminator VS Covid-19,” soon. In addition, she provides household items and clothing throughout the year and never hesitates to give to the homeless. She believes the Bible teaches us to share and show love and compassion for humanity. She donated one of her books to Ronald McDonald’s house in 2018. Watson is a native of Clayton and a graduate of Smithfield-Selma Senior High School. She has been married for 42 years to her high school sweetheart, Winston Watson, and has a son, a daughter and one grandchild.
