SUMMARY:Book Signing and Talk: Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People by George McDaniel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special signing and talk with George McDaniel for his new (April) release of Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People. \nA new portrayal of this 18th-century icon among America’s historic sites\, Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People is the first book in the nation to focus on a site’s recent history using interviews with descendants (both White and Black)\, board members\, staff\, donors\, architects\, historians\, preservationists\, tourism leaders\, and more. \nLike different mosaic pieces\, each interview combines with others to create an engaging picture of this one place\, revealing never-before-shared family moments\, major decisions in preservation and site stewardship\, and pioneering efforts to transform a Southern plantation into a site for racial conciliation. Readers will see Drayton Hall’s people not as stereotypes\, but as the real people they were — and are. \nMaps\, photographs\, lines of descent\, interview questions\, a how-to guide\, and related website\, all provide blueprints for readers who wish to undertake similar endeavors to build community in today’s world. \nDrayton Hall has experienced prosperous times and lean times\, but few people have had a greater impact than George W. McDaniel\, Ph.D.\, executive director for over 26 years. George retired from his post in 2015\, leaving a legacy of visionary preservation\, education and community building.

SUMMARY:Happy Hour Book Signing: Carolina Moonset by Matt Goldman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special book signing and Happy Hour (we’ll provide the wine and refreshments) when New York Times bestselling author Matt Goldman joins us for the launch of his brand new novel releasing May 31st from Forge (an imprint of Tor Books): Carolina Moonset. \nABOUT THE BOOK \n\nBoth suspenseful and deeply moving\, Carolina Moonset is an engrossing novel about family\, memories both golden and terrible\, and secrets too dangerous to stay hidden forever\, from New York Times bestselling and Emmy Award-winning author\, Matt Goldman.\n\nJoey Green has returned to Beaufort\, South Carolina\, with its palmettos and shrimp boats\, to look after his ailing father\, who is succumbing to dementia\, while his overstressed mother takes a break. Marshall Green’s short-term memory has all but evaporated\, but\, as if in compensation\, his oldest memories are more vivid than ever. His mind keeps slipping backwards in time\, retreating into long-ago yesterdays of growing up in Beaufort as a boy.\n\nAt first this seems like a blessing of sorts\, with the past providing a refuge from a shrinking future\, but Joey grows increasingly anxious as his father’s hallucinatory arguments with figures from his youth begin to hint at deadly secrets\, scandals\, and suspicions long buried and forgotten. Resurfacing from decades past are mysteries that still have the power to shatter lives—and change everything Joey thought he knew.\n\nEspecially when a new murder brings the police to his door…\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nMatt Goldman is a playwright and Emmy Award-winning television writer for Seinfeld\, Ellen\, and other shows. He brings his signature storytelling abilities and light touch to his Nils Shapiro series\, which begins with Gone to Dust. He lives in Minnesota with his wife\, two dogs\, two cats\, and whichever children happen to be around.

SUMMARY:Booksigning - Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel
DESCRIPTION:Come on out and meet Sophia Alexander and get a copy of each of the first two award-winning books in her trilogy – Silk: Caroline’s Story AND the brand new release of Tapestry: A Lowcountry Rapunzel \nThe trilogy began with Silk: Caroline’s Story that released last summer. It’s 1899\, and Caroline Corbett is ready for the twentieth century. She’s excited to find work and meet new people—but gets more than expected when a rough-hewn Lowcountry farmer and a small-town doctor both engage her affections. \nThe broad-shouldered\, genial farmer is clear about his desires\, and he’s there for her. The doctor is sophisticated\, educated\, and obviously the right choice—but sees no reason to dwell on certain realities. In trying to decide between them\, Caroline fails to consider the girl Jessie. A young sociopath bent on her own way\, Jessie Bell sees very good reasons to dredge up unpleasant realities—and to create new ones. Before long\, this South Carolina landscape is riddled with the detritus of her intense jealousies\, which have set astonishing and horrifying events into motion.\n \nTapestry released just two weeks ago and promises new adventures: If your stepmother were a sociopath\, how would you know? And who would you turn to? \nLife is not as ordinary as it seems for Gaynelle and Vivian\, who only understand that the woman they now call ‘Mama’ is complicated and difficult to please. Is the romantic love that Gaynelle finds at a too-tender age going to last? And will Vivian uncover the truth about her parentage while recovering from a strange illness? \nRural South Carolina meets the Roaring 20’s in this tale of two sisters who face separation and trauma with the resilience of the young and find their way\, despite everything. \nSophia Alexander is the mother of two college-age children and a number of manuscripts. Her character-driven historical fiction grips readers’ emotions and surprises them with unexpected twists. A full-time author with a passion for genealogy\, she resides near the beautiful Southern city of Savannah\, Georgia\, but studied in the magnificent Pacific Northwest at Bastyr University\, where she earned a doctorate in naturopathic medicine-and so her characters are often found swallowing decoctions or slathering on herbal salves. Her narratives have appeared in local anthologies\, and she was awarded first place in the Savannah Authors 2017 Short Story Contest. Her first novel\, Silk: Caroline’s Story\, debuted Summer 2021 and garnered several accolades: awarded the IndieBRAG medallion\, finalist in the Shelf Unbound 2021 Best Indie Book Awards\, finalist in the category of historical fiction in the 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards\, finalist in the category of Family Saga in the 2021 American Fiction Awards\, and shortlisted for the 2021 Goethe Awards by Chanticleer International.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Signing: The Rice Birds by Lindy Carter!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special book signing for The Rice Birds by Lindy Keane Carter\, which NYT bestselling authors are already calling brilliant! \n“Like the hunted rice birds of South Carolina’s Lowcountry\, two desperate women—an Irish indentured servant and an enslaved servant—flee antebellum Charleston in this meticulously researched and beautifully crafted odyssey to freedom. I loved it.” – Mary Alice Monroe\, New York Times bestselling author of 27 books\, including THE BEACH HOUSE series \n“In a poignant story of two runaway women who befriend each other in 1849 Charleston to survive\, The Rice Birds will steal your heart. The starving Irish immigrant and the enslaved house servant battle a common enemy while seeking to find their loved ones snatched from their arms. Lindy Carter’s transportive prose will carry you through this compelling and splendid story.” –Patti Callahan Henry\, New York Times bestselling author \n“Lindy Keane Carter is a captivating writer of historical fiction and a powerful storyteller. The Rice Birds has tension on every page\, truth that shocks and exposes\, and characters we come to love. I am a big fan of Carter’s writing talent\, and her latest novel is a first-class winner!” – Leah Weiss\, bestselling author of If the Creek Don’t Rise and All the Little Hopes \nThe Rice Birds: In 1849\, twin sisters fleeing Ireland’s famine arrive at New York’s seaport. Only Nora is allowed to get on the boat to South Carolina to fulfill her work contract. On her employer’s vast rice plantation\, an enslaved worker— Pearl—befriends her. After one of them commits a crime\, the girls flee to Charleston\, a dangerous place for runaways. Nora frantically seeks to get back to her sister\, while Pearl tries to find her mother before heading north. \nMeanwhile\, an old enemy’s illegal scheme is about to derail the girls’ plans. \nHistorically accurate\, this newly published work from Evening Post Books draws upon interviews with academics\, historians\, and educators\, as well as dissertations\, histories\, Gullah stories\, cookbooks\, and the diaries of Lowcountry rice planters. The Rice Birds takes the reader beyond the well-known narrative about Charleston’s history to reveal real events and lives that have seen little light in contemporary books. Some stories were so compelling\, they needed little embellishment before being woven into this tale. \nLindy Keane Carter is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. After writing non-fiction for 30 years\, she signed up for a fiction-writing class at a community college in Maryland. Her short stories won awards in 2003 and 2009 in the South Carolina Arts Commission’s Fiction Project contest. The Rice Birds is her third published novel. Lindy is the mother of two daughters and a son. Visit her at www.facebook.com/LindyCarterAuthor or www.LindyCarter.com.

SUMMARY:Meet Gregory Erich Phillips: A Season in Lights
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday for a special book signing with Seattle’s award-winning novelist\, Gregory Erich Phillips\, author of The Love of Unfinished Years\, The Exile\, and his newest hit\, A Season in Lights. \nPassion\, ambition and escape in the colorful artistic underworld off-Broadway. \nCammie\, a dancer in her 30s\, has just landed her first part in a show since coming to New York City. Yet the tug of familial obligations and the guilt of what she sacrificed to be there weigh down her dancing feet. The early narrative follows the cast of the show\, with a backstage glimpse into the chaotic and colorful world of struggling performers. \nCammie’s lover\, Tom\, an older piano player\, came to the city as a young man in the 1980s with a story eerily in tune with Cammie’s own. \nThrough their triumphs and failures\, both learn the fleetness of glory\, the sweetness of new love\, and how a dream come true isn’t cherished until it’s passed. The bright lights of the stage intoxicate\, while degradation and despair lurk close behind the curtain. Their stories are marred by two viruses\, AIDS in the 1980s and COVID-19 today\, both of which ravaged the performing arts community\, leaving a permanent scar on those who lived through them. \nCammie thinks she finally has her chance in a major show\, until COVID forces the unthinkable—Broadway being shut down. The physical\, financial and emotional toll this takes on the dancers and musicians of the story is laid bare. The effort it took to survive even the next day in New York City becomes a stark reality for many of the characters. “It took a lot of lucky breaks to make it here. This pandemic would undo a lot of lucky breaks for a lot of people.” \nAward-winning author Gregory Erich Phillips writes stories with strong characters whose lives\, with their many challenges and joys\, resonate with a wide audience. Raised in a literary family\, Gregory began writing at the age of fourteen. His debut novel\, Love of Finished Years\, won the grand prize in the Chanticleer Reviews International Writing Competition and was an Amazon bestseller in historical fiction. It was praised by Publishers Weekly\, which called it “beguiling.” His second novel The Exile won first place in mainstream fiction in the PNWA literary contest. A Season in Lights won the grand prize in the Chanticleer Reviews Somerset award for Contemporary and Literary Fiction and was named a Distinguished Favorite in the 2021 NYC Big Book Awards. The novel was also featured on the cover of Publishers Weekly (Aug. 30 2021). It was named the Best Book of the Year by Annie McDonnell of The Write Review. An accomplished tango dancer and musician\, Gregory has impressed audiences from the West Coast to New York City with his drama and grace on the dance floor. Gregory lives in Seattle\, Washington.

SUMMARY:Book Signing / Talk: Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth
DESCRIPTION:We are honored to host this signing and book discussion around the brand new release from Charleston’s own Evening Post Books: Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth. \nYou’ll get to meet Summerville’s own Herb Frazier as well as contributing authors from the project\, and we plan to engage in a substantive discussion… don’t miss this one\, folks. \nUkweli is the Swahili word for truth. This book meets this moment in America as a healing truth to overcome the trauma of slavery and the decades of violence that followed it. The personal accounts and insights from forty-five writers and poets will educate White Americans about the systematic racial bias employed to stymie African American progress. \nUkweli provides insight into the struggles Black people have faced as they’ve made substantial contributions to America\, and helped to define its soul. It shows a part of American history often overlooked or misunderstood.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Meet Jack Russell and Fox World
DESCRIPTION: “I hope that everyone who cares about the future of planet Earth will fight to save places like Fox World’s forest and its inhabitants.” – Dr. Jane Goodall\n\nJoin us for a very special book signing with Jack Russell\, the author of the entertaining and insightful Fox World.\n\nBased on true events\, Fox World takes the reader under the canopy of an urban forest on the outskirts of Washington\, D.C. for a year-long walk with a weary sales executive and his muse\, a wild red fox.  Aged\, ill and injured\, both fox and man seek healing in their journey\, not only for themselves\, but for the ecologically stressed forest that is under siege by those set to exploit it.\n\nThey are joined on their five-hundred-mile walkabout by the fox’s forest friends – owl\, buck deer\, hawk\, blue heron\, and raccoon\, and each animal’s story illustrates why this small forest is so soothing and majestic in its allure.  Starting in brutally cold winter\, followed by the hottest\, wettest summer on record\, fox and man face daunting life challenges in their walks\, from a heart attack and arrhythmia which end the executive’s career to a coyote attack and serious illnesses faced by the elderly fox.\nAnd through these debilitating and traumatic events\, the two unite and bond for survival\, and the fox’s wild perspective teaches his human friend unforgettable lessons about healing\, coping\, serenity\, wonderment\, mindfulness\, and the simplest things (e.g.\, the sun setting atop the great oaks\, an owl serenade under moonbeams\, a shared cup of bison bone broth on an icy day).\nDrawn in by the fox’s courage and the plight of his forest as tree canopy destruction looms\, the man decides to take a stand and help the fox and his animal friends.\n\nRichly graced with gorgeous nature photos and infused with insights that can only be imparted by those who have come to genuinely appreciate life\, Fox World is an exhilarating walk in the woods that you’ll never forget.\n\n\n“As a wildlife rehabilitator who works hands-on with red foxes every day\, this book took my breath away. The author truly grasps the essence and magic of these beautiful\, spiritual animals and he artfully employs a fox\, Mr. Fox\, as a co-narrator to describe the hardscrabble challenges of a fox in the wild. Fox World is a bookshelf staple for fox lovers and –for those who have been graced only once with seeing a distant fox walking the wood’s edge\, and desire more– Fox World will transport you there.” – Elise Able\, Founder\, Fox Wood Wildlife Rescue\, foxwoodwildliferescue.org\n\nJack Russell is a first-time author\, not counting dozens of hundred-page PowerPoints written in Corporate World. Jack wrote Fox World after suffering sudden cardiac arrest and undergoing several heart procedures to save his life.  Afterwards\, he sought the calm refuge of a nearby forest in which to walk and relax\, and there\, he reunited with an aging red fox that he had helped as a pup.  Fox World is based on true events and was a real-time composition as Jack wrote the 85\,000-word book on his smartphone as he and his co-narrator\, Mr. Fox\, walked daily. He lives in Lake Frederick\, Virginia with his wife\, Susan\, and their Jack Russell terriers.

SUMMARY:Meet Stuart Bennett\, Author of The Charleston Gambit!
DESCRIPTION:For all you history aficionados\, this one’s for you! Meet the author and grab a copy of this brilliant book by Stuart Bennett\, The Charleston Gambit.\n\nThe Charleston Gambit: In the spring of 1780 Polly Cooper\, a young patriot\, decides to smuggle rifles to her brothers defending Charleston against the British siege. As she approaches the city\, she’s captured by 25-year-old Irish Colonel Lord Rawdon. So begins an improbable romance as Charleston falls and Rawdon spends the next year trying to subdue the South Carolina backcountry. Polly struggles with divided loyalties as Rawdon wins a succession of battles—only to discover that victory\, in love and war\, eludes him.\n\nThe cover of The Charleston Gambit\, shown above\, incorporates portraits of the two central characters. The young woman is from a 1778 print\, “The Studious Beauty\,” reproduced courtesy of The Lewis Walpole Library\, Yale University. \nThe portrait of Lord Rawdon\, probably painted in the later 1780s\, is from a print in the author’s collection. \n\nStuart Bennett is an author and antiquarian bookseller in Charleston.  He grew up in Southern California and is married to the Charleston artist Jennie Summerall.\nHe became a Christie’s auctioneer in London in 1976 and started his ongoing rare book business in 1980.  After leaving England in 1989\, he briefly practiced law in California.  He then returned to writing and antiquarian bookselling\, and watched his son grow up to become a competitive cyclist and coach.\nThe Charleston Gambit is the newest of Stuart’s four novels. He has also published widely on historical subjects on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2008 he became president of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America and currently serves on the governing committee of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.\n\nNOTE: This event takes place on Saturday afternoon during Flowertown Festival; if you’d like to purchase the book in advance and have it personalized and pick up later\, no worries – we can do that!

SUMMARY:Book Signing: What's Burning on the Inside with Lakosha Wade
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday\, March 27th from 2 – 4 pm to meet local author Lakosha Wade and engage in discussion of her 21 day guided journal and devotional\, What’s Burning on the Inside. \nMany people burn candles and incense in their homes\, businesses\, and other places. Sometimes the candles are for beauty\, aromatherapy\, or just to create a good mood. I’m sure many people have lit candles for all of these reasons and more\, but there is another reason to light candles that most people don’t know about. There is a hidden spiritual meaning behind lighting candles that will help you grow closer to God. \nWhat is inside the candle is what makes it fragrant. The more fragrant it is\, the more value it has. What if we have God inside of us? Then\, won’t He give off a sweet smell that attracts others to us? \nSaid Lakosha\, “When God is inside of us\, and we burn with his love and light\, we become the sweet fragrance that draws other people to Him. We can’t just expect God to give us this life without doing anything for it ourselves. We need to “burn” with his desire and passion for people and attract them to our lives through Christ’s light within us.” \nLakosha Wade is a first-time author\, born and raised in the small town of Estill SC. She is a wife and mother of two. Professionally she works as a nurse with hospice. She is passionate to serve others through her relationship with God; During her free time\, she enjoys reading\, playing games\, and shopping.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Lynn Wogamon - Words for a Young Heart
DESCRIPTION:Come meet Charleston author Lynn Wogamon at Main Street Reads and grab signed copies of her books\, Words for a Young Heart\, More Words for a Young Heart and Come and See…Jesus. \nThe Bible tells children about God and His love for them. Words for a Young Heart introduces fifteen verses specifically for young children\, along with devotions to help them know how the verse applies to them. These short passages are perfect for morning devotions or bedtime prayers. More Words for a Young Heart\, the second book in the series\, introduces fifteen new verses specifically for young children \nCome and see! The very words spark curiosity and excitement. When we receive this invitation\, we immediately expect to find something wonderful. And when we ourselves have experienced something exciting\, we eagerly share it with others. Jesus spoke the words “come and see…”to people he met as he journeyed during his time on earth. He invited them to see him and his truth as God’s Son. Others\, after having seen Jesus for themselves\, called to friends and family to “come and see”. And all who saw Jesus were changed forever. Come and See…Jesus tells the story of Jesus from his birth through his ascension as presented in the gospels of Matthew\, Mark\, Luke\, and John. This paraphrase of the gospels allows readers to walk with Jesus during his time on earth\, learning who he is and why he came to earth in human form. \nLynn S. Wogamon is a licensed school psychologist and teacher. She has worked in the public school system and is currently self-employed. Her background in music provided opportunities for her to work as a music minister and she is currently on the praise team at her church.  Lynn and her husband\, Chris\, have four adult children\, two daughters-in law\, three grandsons\, and a golden retriever\, Belle. They live in Charleston\, SC.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: South Carolina in 1865 by Karen Stokes!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, February 5th when we welcome author Karen Stokes to Main Street Reads to sign copies of the fascinating new release: South Carolina in 1865 from History Press. \nThe year 1865 brought an end to the war in America\, but it also ended a civilization that had existed for nearly two centuries in South Carolina. Plantations\, churches\, farms\, factories and whole villages and towns were pillaged and burned by General William T. Sherman’s army\, and a once-thriving and wealthy state was reduced to poverty. \nWhile Columbia burned\, besieging Union troops swept in and occupied the undefended city of Charleston\, which Sherman called “a mere desolated wreck\,” and then launched raids into the surrounding countryside\, including the rich plantation lands of Berkeley County. The surviving records of this period are numerous and revealing\, and author Karen Stokes presents many of the eyewitness accounts and memoirs of those who lived through it. \nKaren Stokes has been an archivist at the South Carolina Historical Society in Charleston for more than twenty-five years. Her special area of interest is the Confederate period\, and she has authored and edited numerous books and articles on the subject\, including three History Press publications: South Carolina Civilians in Sherman’s Path (2012)\, The Immortal 600: Surviving Civil War Charleston and Savannah (2013) and Confederate South Carolina: True Stories of Civilians\, Soldiers and the War (2015). Her most recent scholarly books\, published by Mercer University Press\, are An Everlasting Circle: Letters of the Haskell Family of Abbeville\, South Carolina\, 1861–1865 (2019)\, and Incidents in the Life of Cecilia Lawton: A Memoir of Plantation Life\, War\, and Reconstruction in Georgia and South Carolina (2021).

Yet\, without conscious participation\, we can become stuck in a cycle of repetitive patterns that leaves us feeling like an imposter in our own lives. \nIn Expired Mindsets\, Charryse Johnson\, gives readers both the courage and the keys to understanding the root of their patterns.

In this body of work\, she is unapologetically challenging the rigidity and stigma that reduces human struggle to a sequence of self -help steps. As you read this book\, you’ll create a framework that allows you to investigate the diversity of your experiences through a lens of curiosity and understanding. \n\n\nIf you are ready to cut ties with the beliefs that hold you back\, Expired Mindsets belongs on your reading list.\n\nCharryse Johnson\, LCMHC\, NCC is a veteran psychotherapist and mindfulness practitioner whose work focuses on the intersection of trauma\, somatic integration\, spirituality\, and social justice. She is the founder o Jade Integrative Counseling and Wellness\, an integrative therapy practice where personal values\, the search for meaning\, and the power of choice are the central focus.

SUMMARY:Launch Party: Promise by Regina E. Williams
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for a special book launch and book-signing with Summerville’s own newest debut author Regina E. Williams for a story collection that will have you laughing\, have you crying\, but most of all… have you thinking. \nWe come into this life knowing what brings us pleasure and pain; what we want and need. We are then taught to distrust what we know. It is only in the university of life that we slowly regain our knowing\, where we begin to again trust our instincts and those things our bodies tell us to be true; where we experience pain\, joy\, grief\, pleasures and hopefully love. \nThese stories cover a span of many years\, situations and locales but the reality is that place matters only in our consciousness\, in our memories; a holding place. Each tale offers a brief reflection of some of those markers on the journey from self to self. \nRegina E. Williams is a poet\, writer\, and writing consultant whose poetry and fiction have appeared worldwide. She has performed her work nationally in high schools\, colleges\, churches\, as well as on national radio. She has participated in various panel discussions and dialogues on issues relating to the black community\, Womanism\, and writing. \n\As an associate with Writer’s Insight\, a writing consultant agency\, Regina designed and conducted writing workshops for students and teachers in high schools\, colleges\, and various civic and community institutions and organizations. She also served as a Managing Editor for Metro Exchange a monthly newspaper published by Intergroup Marketing & Communications\, Inc.Regina is a founding member of Metamorphosis Writer’s Collective and “Ain’t I a Woman” Writers Collective\, and a member of New Renaissance Writers Guild\, and New Bones\, a promotion/production group designed to promote black literature and music. Regina grew up in an immigrant community in Brooklyn\, New York. \nShe quickly became fascinated with people: the climates and typography of the countries they came from\, the musicality or lack of such in the languages they spoke\, the uniqueness of the clothes they wore\, the different spicing of their foods; the discovery that everyone did not worship as her family did. Her curiosity led her to travel to many places to broaden her understanding of global customs\, art\, and culture.
