SUMMARY:Book Signing: Dragons Suck by Benjamin Gamble
DESCRIPTION:Come on out to Main Street Reads on Saturday and meet debut author Benjamin Gamble who’ll be on hand to personally sign copies of his newly released novel\, Dragons Suck! \nBorn and raised near Charleston\, South Carolina\, Ben always had a passion for writing. He has previously worked as a camp counselor and as a waiter\, where he encountered monsters far more terrifying than the ones in this novel. He currently attends Furman University and tells his relatives he’s considering graduate studies afterwards. \nHis lead character\, Harkness\, is no hero—but unfortunately for him\, he’s been volunteered by his village to save the world\, and he quickly finds that modern-day sarcasm is no match for ancient dragons… A refreshing take on our dragon fascination!

SUMMARY:Celebrate Summer with Cicada Summers by Jordan Smith Graffis
DESCRIPTION:Join us Saturday\, June 29 in a proper summer in Summerville celebration with a special book signing by lauded local author Jordan Smith Graffis and her Cicada Summers! \nJordan brings readers an emotional\, heart-wrenching coming-of-age narrative that ultimately stands as an ode to motherhood. Adults can learn a lot from children—actually\, they have a lot to relearn. The narrator\, a mother in her sixties\, is writing a compilation of her greatest achievements—and failures—for her son\, Billy Rubin\, who is himself about to become a parent. \nShe wants Billy to be prepared for the changes this gift will bring\, and she wants him to know how much he taught her\, and in turn\, how much his child will teach him. At the beginning of each chapter\, Billy’s childhood adventures and antics are presented to the reader as illustrations of what’s truly important in life; she wants Billy to feel like he’s reading a children’s book about his youth. \nThese lessons parents experience are actually repeats of ones thought to be previously mastered during childhood\, like the importance of sharing\, how to love unconditionally\, and that the future is full of possibility. There is value in learning—re-learning—these important lessons\, whether the knowledge contained therein is to be passed down to loved ones or not. \nAbout Jordan Smith Graffis\nJordan Smith Graffis earned her master’s degree from Columbia University and bachelor’s from Marshall University. She is a former journalist turned business owner. She currently lives in Summerville\, South Carolina\, and splits her time between owning/operating a consulting company and acting as referee during toddler fistfights. Can any of us relate?!
