From Islands to Pelicans: Fiction and History Woven into One Unforgettable Coastal Collection

  1. From Islands to Pelicans: Fiction and History Woven into One Unforgettable Coastal Collection Teri M Brown 22:16

My guests today on the Online for Authors podcast are Jan Comfort, Karen W. Prescott, Lisa M. Pritchard, Lynda Stoy Stear, Carol Stigger, Jennifer E. Tirrell and myself, authors of the book Carolina Tides.

 

In my book review, I stated Carolina Tides is a beach-read anthology of short stories by seven authors: Teri M. Brown, Jan Comfort, Karen W. Prescott, Lisa M. Pritchard, Lynda Stoy Stear, Carol Stigger, and Jennifer E. Tirrell. The premise of the anthology is to provide stories for those vacationing on the coast for a week – a story a day for a week-long stay. Each story is vastly different with the coast of North and South Carolina, and authors living on the coast, as the anchor.

 

Inside you’ll find clean romance, adventures, historical fiction, redemption, hurricanes, Family ties, and even a creative nonfiction piece on the history of the area. There’s something for everyone.

 

Just as importantly as the stories, 100% of the proceeds from the book are going to support women in need in Brunswick County, NC and Horry County, SC. You don’t have to vacation at the beach to Love this book, so grab your copy today!
