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:PQ Book Club June: The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare by Kimberly Brock
DESCRIPTION:Join the Pulpwood Queens book club discussion in June when we chat about the new hit from Kimberly Brock\, The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare. \nThe fate of the world is often driven by the curiosity of a girl. \nWhat happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery\, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured commonplace book. Brought from England on Eleanor’s fateful voyage to the New World\, her book was passed down through the fifteen generations of daughters who followed as they came of age. Thirteen-year-old Alice had been next in line to receive it\, but her mother’s tragic death fractured the unbroken legacy and the Dare Stone and the shadowy history recorded in the book faded into memory. Or so Alice hoped. \nIn the waning days of World War II\, Alice is a young widow and a mother herself when she is unexpectedly presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell\, her abandoned family home and the history she thought forgotten. Determined to sell the property and step into a future free of the past\, Alice returns to Savannah with her own thirteen-year-old daughter\, Penn\, in tow. But when Penn’s curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets from beneath every stone and bone and shell of the old house and Eleanor’s book is finally found\, Alice is forced to reckon with the sacrifices made for love and the realities of their true inheritance as daughters of Eleanor Dare. \nIn this sweeping tale from award-winning author Kimberly Brock\, the answers to a real-life mystery may be found in the pages of a story that was always waiting to be written. \nPraise for The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare:  \n“From the haunting first line\, The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare transports the reader to a mysterious land\, time and family . . . the captivating women of the Dare legacy must find their true inheritance hiding behind the untold secrets.” —Patti Callahan\, New York Times bestselling author \n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nKimberly Brock is the award-winning author of The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare and The River Witch. She is the founder of Tinderbox Writers Workshop and has served as a guest lecturer for many regional and national writing workshops including at the Pat Conroy Literary Center. She lives near Atlanta with her husband and three children. Visit her online at kimberlybrockbooks.com; Instagram: @kimberlydbrock; Facebook: @kimberlybrockauthor; Twitter: @kimberlydbrock.

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.
