SUMMARY:Booksigning: E.D. Baker with The Power of a Princess
DESCRIPTION:Come join us on November 9th for a special booksigning with beloved children’s author E.D. Baker\, highlighting the brand new release of The Power of a Princess\, an adventurous tale about a princess who is more than what she seems — and a kingdom whose fate rests in her hands. \nAislin is more than just a princess. Born to a fairy king and pedrasi queen\, she’s strong\, smart\, and brave\, with magical gifts she’s only beginning to discover. Aislin has spent her whole life keeping her family’s gifts hidden from the non-magic folk who surround her kingdom\, and is shocked to find out the humans knew about these enchantments all along. But when the fairies decide to move back onto human territory\, it soon becomes clear that some will not be happy about this change. \nAs she sets out to restore the balance\, Aislin chooses a surprising group of young women to join her – girls she knows are brave and loyal\, but who don’t have the qualities of typical guards or princess confidantes. Things only get more complicated when an old foe appears\, surely up to no good. The princess knows she has the power and ingenuity to stand up for herself and her kingdom\, especially with her friends by her side – will that be enough to set things right? \nE. D. Baker is the author of many beloved books for young readers\, including The Frog Princess\, which was the inspiration for Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. A classic and original fairy tale that celebrates goodness in all shapes and sizes\, More than a Princess will resonate with readers who love magic\, suspense\, girl power\, and adventure.

SUMMARY:Booksigning: C. Hope Clark Introducing Edisto Tidings!
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for the amazing C. Hope Clark to return to her hometown of Summerville (she graduated from SHS) when she visits Main Street Reads to celebrate the launch of her newest book\, Edisto Tidings (Book 6 of the Edisto Island Mysteries\, October 2019 release). We’ll also have plenty of Hope’s other popular books on hand!\n\nHope is known for writing award-winning mysteries steeped in South Carolina humidity and personalities. The Carolina Slade Mysteries cover Slade’s investigations under the umbrella of Agriculture\, covering the rural reaches of SC. Crime is a completely different animal in the country! And the Edisto Island Mysteries follow the trials of a female police chief on well-known Edisto Beach.\n\nHaving grown up in Summerville\, and graduated from Summerville High School\, Hope now lives on Lake Murray in central SC and vacations on Edisto. In addition to being a mystery author\, Hope educates writers via speaking and counseling. Her website FundsforWriters.com was chosen by Writer’s Digest for its 101 Best Websites for Writers for the past 18 years. Her newsletter for writers reaches 35\,000 readers each week. www.fundsforwriters.com / www.chopeclark.com\n\nEdisto Tidings: Edisto Island Mysteries Book 6\n\nWhen the discovery of a body on a vacant lot puts an end to Police Chief Callie Morgan’s surprise birthday party\, Christmas week loses some of its charm. Not only does she know the dead man\, he’s a relation . . . of sorts. Soon she’s juggling a murder investigation and a rash of burglaries that may have been committed by the mythical Edisto Santa—a holiday secret Santa\, who may have taken a page from Robin Hood’s book and begun robbing from the tourist rich and giving to the local poor. \nSince the suspects for both crimes are Edisto residents\, no matter how delicately Callie treads\, this holiday season will pit Callie against her beloved Edisto and leave her feeling like the Grinch\, Scrooge\, and Old Man Potter rolled into one. But she has no choice. Murder trumps Santa. This year Callie is making a list and checking it twice. \nPraise for C. Hope Clark: “A sparkling Edisto Island setting\, a flawed heroine\, a riveting mystery.”—Karen White\, New York Times bestselling author. \nHope Clark’s books have been honored as winners of the Epic Award\, Silver Falcion Award\, the Daphne du Maurier Award. \n\nJoin us for this very special event and celebrate one of Summerville’s own!

SUMMARY:Museum Art Show at Main Street Reads!
DESCRIPTION:Our own Summerville Dorchester Museum is collaborating with Main Street Reads to offer a unique Third Thursday event this month\, an art show featuring three local artists\, and a talk about Summerville area history (will be especially interesting to all you newer Summervillians!)\n\nMeet the Artists\n\nTherese Haynes: Therese won her first art show in 2nd grade. She has sold paintings of beloved pets\, cars\, and landscapes for 25+yrs in KY and MI. She moved to Summerville in 2011 offering her talent to Dorchester Summerville Museum and Crossroads Church. She was commissioned to complete two historical murals for both Museums (St George). Dorchester Co Parks and Rec commissioned Ms. Haynes for 12 works of art for Rosebrock Parks 1.5 mile hiking trail and completed a large tribute to Saul Alexander arriving in Summerville\, invited to display her complete collection by the Charleston Co Library for a Gallery Showing. She has competed Internationally for the Archdiocese of Michigan and has won juried competitions. She was last year’s People’s Choice Award and second place winner in Summerville Artist’s Guild City Gallery competition in 2018. She is currently competing in this year’s show thru Nov 30 at N Charleston Coliseum.\n\n\nDr. Ed West: Dr. West is a knowledgeable and eloquent historian for Dorchester County as well as the town of Summerville. He is often a frequent speaker as part of the museum’s series on local people and historical events.  He also consults on many of the exhibits and artifacts on display in our museum. Ed West “EW” had a truly wonderful art teacher in high school and then suppressed his muse for fifty years.  He now enjoys developing paintings depictiing aspects of American history\, particularly pertaining to Summerville. He has been influenced by N.C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell and thinks of himself more as an illustrator than as an artist.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrank DeLoach: In summer 2000\, the Field Museum in Chicago unveiled the largest\, best preserved and most complete T-rex ever found. Frank DeLoach was working in the Paleontology prep lab on specimens from Madagascar\, but spent free time sketching the new exhibit. He was surrounded by large groups\, who wanted to ask questions about the dinosaur. Museum admin transferred Frank from Paleontology to Education\, where he was appointed “Artist-on-floor\,” a 6-week reassignment that lasted over three years. This was the beginning of a new occupation away from the sciences. Frank began painting in other locations\, such as Millennium Park\, Chicago Botanical Gardens and the Chicago Bears Soldiers Field. Frank and Andrea moved to Charleston and Frank continues to work in locations in the city and Angel Oak. Frank is presenting three small canvases of Angel Oak and the beautiful homes on the Battery. His paintings are in museums and private collections throughout the U.S.\, Asia\, and Europe. Frank is not currently represented by any galleries or studios in the Low Country. \nAs always\, we’ll also be featuring the artistic guitar stylings of Summerville’s own Michael Kaltofen\, so come enjoy some art\, books\, music and local history with us! And yes\, refreshments will be served…
