Shirley Tucker will be touring the United States, and especially the upper midwest, the week of August 15-24.  Below is a list of events currently scheduled.  If you would like Shirley to come to your venue, please contact Anthony at director@athanatosministries.org ASAP.

Note, Shirley is also available to speak with her husband, Mark, about their micro-lending charity in South Africa.  The Phakamani Foundation was the Tucker’s response to the extreme poverty they see in their home country.  This poverty is a backdrop to Diamonds in the Dust.

These events will all include Shirley and involve a reading from her book and a discussion about her experiences as a writer, as well as about life in South Africa, etc.  Events given a *** will likely include Mark, as well, and talk more specifically about their charitable efforts to fight poverty in South Africa.

All events are FREE to attend!  Just show up!
