Darnell Arnoult, published author of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and co-founder of the Brush Creek Writers' Cooperative has introduced her first book of poetry, What Travels With Us, published by LSU Press, to rave reviews.

Darnell welcomes her fans at the Regulator Bookstore in Durham, NC.

The crowd was standing room only and "What Travels With Us" was sold out before the night was over.

Darnell celebrates with her family: L to R: Daughter, Beth Stone, husband William, Darnell, daughter-in-law Jody holding granddaughter, Ella, and son, Chad.

Her first novel, Sufficient Grace, will be published by The Free Press, a Simon and Schuster imprint, in 2006. For more information, go to www.darnellarnoult.com.
