Can you think of a better way to spend an afternoon? Sip some holiday cheer, meet 20 or more local authors and do your holiday shopping while you can get a book signed for everyone on your list.
The Sunset River Marketplace is an eclectic art gallery in historic Calabash, NC, and you are invited to the holiday open house December 2 from 1 pm until 4 pm.
We will be there to discuss or sign our two books — Myrtle Beach: a Guide to South Carolina’s Grand Strand and Hilton Head: A Guide to the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Both were published by Channel Lake in the Tourist Town 2010 travel guidebook series. Both books are suggested for local residents to use as reference guides or for visitors who need ideas for planning a family vacation, a golf outing, a business trip or a weekend getaway.
Jacqueline “Jack” DeGroot and MIller Pope will be on hand to discuss their instantly popular History of Sunset Beach, featuring memories of prominent local residents. Humorist Ann Ipock, whose columns have been featured in the Georgetown Times, Sasee magazine and Coumbia County magazine, will be showcasing her new book: Life Is Short, I Wish I Was Taller.
The following authors also are expected to attend: Pat Gambarelli, Jim Thomas, Claire Connelly, Joyce Jacobs, Joan Leotta, Marsha Tennant, Edith Edwards, Don Glander, Al Strohmayer, Tom Rieber, Katherine Moore, Rebecca Pierre, Lenke Brown, Becky Shuford, Anne Giordana, and Margaret Biggers. The book subjects cover the range from cooking, traveling, self-help, history, children, humor and mystery.
The gallery is an active supporter of literary, visual and performing arts. It showcases work by approximately 200 North and South Carolina artists, and houses some 10,000 square feet of art work in virtually every genre. For details call 910-575-5999 or visit sunsetrivergallery.com.
The holiday event is free, and reservations are not required. We are excited about this opportunity to talk about our books, answer questions and help visitors find the perfect gift. Hope we will see you there!
