Author Joy Bateman will debut her new cookbook, The Art of Dining on Amelia Island, at an exclusive Friends of the Library dinner event to be held on Thursday, November 15, 6:00 pm at Slider’s Seaside Grill.

Joy will share her process of writing the book showcasing our favorite island restaurants and present the accompanying artwork from her book. Seating is limited and tickets can be purchased at the Fernandina Beach Library.

Joy Bateman, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, is gaining recognition nationally for her talent as an artist and a publisher. She has successfully produced two books; The Art of Dining in Memphis and The Art of Dining in New Orleans, and is now working on her third, The Art of Dining in Nashville.

When Joy is not selling, painting or writing, she is most often found babysitting grandchildren, Alex, Ben, and Bays. She also enjoys tennis and spending as much time as possible at the beach.

Joy is aware that she is living an incredible blessed life, and knows that she is proof, “With God all things are possible.” Matt. 19:26
