    Eric L. Haney, author of Inside Delta Force and Beyond Shock and Awe has copies of his latest book; a novel No Man’s Land.

    Haney is originally from North Georgia and is a retired Command Sergeant Major from the US Army.  He was one of the original members of the army’s counterterrorist unit Delta Force.

    His novel is about a soldier of fortune named Kennesaw Tanner, who is approached by government

operatives with an offer:  rescue the kidnapped heir of a powerful Persian Gulf sheik whose allegiance with the U.S. has made him a target for terrorists.

    What Tanner doesn’t know is that there are elements within the government who want him to fail; that the sands of politics are shifting against him-and that the job he’s being paid to do may cost him more than he bargained for.

    Haney is an excellent writer, and a fascinating person to meet and talk with.

                                                                                             The Avery Gallery wishes to congratulate Mr. Dan Cox, the founder and present executive director of the Marietta Museum of History for being chosen to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries. His efforts have made the museum into the finest small-city museum in the entire state of Georgia. It is a dynamic and fascinating collection of artifacts and the people who staff the museum make a visit there a real treat. There are many changing exhibits each year, as well as lectures by authors, historians and others who share their knowledge. Dan's award was presented at noon in the Marietta Conference Center on January 23, 2009.  Many locals sent letters of recommendation. The City of Marietta made a proclamation, signed by all the council-persons and the mayor, lauding Dan and his efforts. He is very well-deserving.
