Take your kid to a conference.

Sara and I enjoyed a late October stroll on Myrtle Beach between working the BookNook and sessions with the faculty at the South Carolina Writers Workshop 2007 Conference. We belong at the beach in fall, don't you think? Her hair is the color of the sea oats and mine the sand's. ha.







During the Poetry and a Sense of Place session at the 2007 SC Writers Workshop at Myrtle Beach, Robert Morgan read his poem "Mowing", about his daddy mowing grass.







Selling books at the SCWW Book Nook was a pretty good gig.

Some good South Carolina writing

Gabaldon titles Book Seven

For someone like me who has recently discovered the joys of genealogy, I was pleased to read the title of Diana Gabaldon’s seventh book in the Outlander Series, An Echo in the Bone. How about it, folks-who-like-to-chase-dead-people, don’t you like that one? Read about how she came up with that title here.
