  • Mary Nolan Brown

    I am a fifth-generation Floridian who grew up on Amelia Island. I've been writing poetry and prose since middle school. My young adult debut novel, "Picketing the President" is based on the experiences of my suffragist great-grandmother, Mary Nolan. It received the young adult 2022 Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY Second Place Award. Currently, my husband and I live on a barrier island near Savannah, Georgia, along with our rescue cats George and Gracie.

Mary Nolan Brown presents the new edition of Picketing the President.

In this portrait, Mary Nolan Brown holds the newly released edition of her book Picketing the President, a work that reflects her commitment to storytelling grounded in history and purpose. The book explores themes of courage, civic responsibility, and the enduring impact of standing up for one’s beliefs. Through her writing, Mary brings to life voices from the past while inviting readers to reflect on their role in shaping the future. This new edition continues her mission to inform, inspire, and engage audiences of all ages with meaningful and thought-provoking narratives.

"Come, my friend, and have a seat,

We’ll chat and share a pot of tea.

There’s coffee, if you prefer,

Either one is fine with me."
