Former Opryland theme park performer and National Vocabulary Coach of the Year Debbie Mathis Watts will sign her latest book at the Renaissance Center on Saturday, December 5. Wordabulous! -- Celebrating the 'Positive Power' of Words shows individuals how life can be improved, enjoyed and celebrated through the knowledge and appreciation of words. Described as a fun-filled guide to a better vocabulary, the book provides the author's insights on words, some "words of wisdom", and chapters arranged in a "word-a-week" configuration.

"The examples I have chosen to use in the book are strictly my own preference," said Watts, who was inspired to write Wordabulous! after being named the country's top vocabulary coach by the Game Show Network. "There is a larger world of words out there, and readers are encouraged to develop a vocabulary that will help make their own lives more successful, enjoyable, and in short, 'wordabulous'." Readers can improve their word usage by studying famous quotes by legendary writers such as William Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson, new words that are helping shape the 21st Century, the latest text messaging lingo, commonly misspelled words, misused words, and clever quizzes to test one's understanding of words.

A native of Dickson County, Watts serves as the literacy coach for teachers for Sumner County Schools. For more than five years, she inspired teenagers as an award-winning middle school teacher at Merrol Hyde Magnet School in Hendersonville, Tenn. She also taught at Dickson County High School for six years. Before that, she was a highly respected writer and producer of game shows for Reid-Land Productions and an acclaimed performer at Opryland theme park. She also performs regularly as a pianist/vocalist for the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville.
