Local author to present tips on writing, publishing - and roping

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 3, 2016) - Local author, publisher, humorist and rope artist William A. Cummins will spin tall tales and offer tips on writing and how to publish one’s work during an
appearance at Daytona State College on Wednesday, Feb. 17.

Cummins will appear with his spinning rope and pepper his presentation, “We Never Told You This,” with a good amount of Will Rogers-influenced humor beginning at 11 a.m. in the Landing on the Daytona Beach Campus, 1200 W. International Speedway Blvd.

The event is free and open to the public, while his presentation specifically targets DSC writing and literature students.

A former engineer, Cummins launched his Port Orange-based CAI Publishing company after he retired. He is an award-winning author of four books, including The Forgotten, which features foxhole stories by Korean War veterans, a highly acclaimed marriage handbook, Life is Sexually Transmitted, and King and the Cowboy, which chronicles his early life as a singing cowboy and trick roper.

In recent years, he has returned to his roots as a performing cowboy, traveling the country to share tales of his experiences and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
