TIFTON — The Writers’ Harvest series at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will present an evening with lecturer and novelist John B. Edwards at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10.

Edwards has more than 45 years of law enforcement experience and has used his knowledge to write four books and many publications on criminal investigation, police operations, leadership, and management. He has received national awards and recognition for his work and, in 2014, was selected for the Georgia State Governor’s Public Safety Award for his outstanding contribution to the profession.

Edwards currently travels throughout the United States lecturing for federal, state, and local agencies, colleges and universities, and law enforcement associations on the topics of police and public safety operations, leadership, and management while also holding seminars based on his books, “The Burden of Command” and “Homicide Investigative Praxis.”
He has also authored two novels — “Sunlight Over the Marshes,” which centers on drug smuggling in coastal Georgia in the 1970s, and “Darkness Under the Oaks,” about organized crime in Georgia.

The event, which is part of the annual ABAC Arts and Culture season, will take place in Bowen Hall Room 100. This literary gathering aims to foster a connection between the ABAC community and the Tiftarea, while also supporting a charitable cause.

Admission to the event is a single canned good or non-perishable food item. All proceeds from the Writers’ Harvest series will directly benefit the ABAC Food Pantry, supporting students in need. This initiative not only provides an enriching literary experience but also serves as an opportunity for the ABAC community to come together and make a positive impact on campus.
