Avery Sumner

Posted on 15 January 2010

Avery Sumner was raised on a small farm just over the Georgia state line in Jefferson County, Florida.  As a child she spent many solitary hours in the stillness of nature and credits these early experiences for directing her to the life she currently leads as a writer and yoga instructor. Avery presently lives in the mountains of North Georgia, having moved there from Normandy, France where she lived with her French husband Alain Laplanche. Before France, Avery lived seven years in the Florida Everglades where she operated a seasonal cafe and wrote the column Notes From the End of the Road for area newspapers. When she travels she looks for the natural and simple.

    Avery,
    It is so good to read your writing again. You have such a wonderful way with words. Say “hello” to Alain for me. Libby

    Avery, I’m sure you won’t remember my husband Bob and me, but we loved coming to JT’s while you were there. We particularly enjoyed the music nights. We live in the Everglades City area and are up in North Carolina for the summer. When I saw your by-line in the Cherokee Sentinel I knew it had to be you & not just a “same-name” coincidence. Glad to see that you’re still writing. Keep it up!!
