Book Signing for South Carolina Author Millie West
 Greenville, SC, July 9, 2012 - South Carolina author Millie West will be signing copies of her debut novel, The Cast Net (Boutique of Quality Books, paperback, $19.99) at Fiction Addiction's new store location (1175 Woods Crossing Rd.) on Saturday, August 4th, from 11am-1pm.
When Mills Taylor, a talented New York advertising agent and artist, accepts a job as the director of an educational scholarship foundation in Alston Station, a town near Charleston, South Carolina, she never imagines that her new position will launch a year of living dangerously. Her boss, Cooper Heath, is as socially conscious as he is handsome, but not only does he have a missing wife, some people also think that he made her disappear.
The Cast Net chronicles the year when Mills plunges into a socially unfamiliar world of Southern money and power in the late 1980s. As she helps Cooper cope and seek the truth behind his wife's disappearance, she learns the new deeper meaning of "the cast net" and why it has been embraced by generations of Low Country residents. The Cast Net is a compelling and engaging novel about roots, a sense of community, trust, betrayal, redemption, and especially -- love.
 A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Millie West has a background in aviation, and has owned and been a broker of her own real estate company. A licensed pilot, Millie was one of the first pilots hired by United Parcel Service when they started their flight crew department. An artist in her own right and a collector of regional art -- especially from Charleston -- Millie is a supporter of charitable organizations, higher education, and the preservation of South Carolina's historical treasures. A South Carolina history buff, Millie has spent countless hours exploring the rich historical vestiges of her home state. Her love of the fascinating, complex, and compelling history of the South is expressed in her writing. Millie resides with her family near Columbia, South Carolina, and is an active participant in her local writer's group, the Chapin Chapter of the South Carolina Writers Workshop.
If you cannot make the signing, you can reserve a personalized copy of The Cast Net by contacting Fiction Addiction in advance at 864-675-0540 or at info@fiction-addiction.com.
