White will be signing copies of her book at Sweetwater Mansion on October 30th from 7:00-8:00 p.m. ($10.00 per copy)

Phyllis has created her own cartoon series, has written many articles, short stories, co-authored two books, and in 2008, published her first novel, titled “Led by the Spirit.” Led is a work of fiction, based on a woman’s obsession and love affair with a ghost. Led exposes the paranormal and gives White’s perspective on the supernatural realm and gives her audience a view of how opening oneself up to ‘spirits’ can be destructive. This book is like no other book you have read and is described by most readers as a ‘page turner’ and ‘a book I couldn’t put down.’ Many are anxiously awaiting the sequel.
White’s unique style of writing holds your attention and she has created in “Led” a spine tingling book, not for the squeamish. It’s a book of good versus evil with many twists and turns and a surprise ending. This is a must read! Website: http://www.phylliswhiteart.com/
