Talk & Book Signing for South Carolina Professor and Author Benjamin W. Farley
 Greenville, SC, July 10, 2012 - South Carolina professor and author Benjamin W. Farley will be discussing and signing copies of his new historical novel, Three Thousand Days and Nights (Lydia Inglett, hardcover, $24.95), at Fiction Addiction's new location (1175 Woods Crossing Rd.) on Thursday, August 16th, at 7:00pm. This event is free, but RSVPs are requested.
If you enjoy historical fiction, Three Thousand Days and Nights will entertain and intrigue you with its rich cast of characters -- characters full of passion, who fought and struggled during this tumultuous period of American history. French, Indian, British, and Colonial Americans live, love, and fight side by side -- and against each other -- for their countries, their beliefs, and their hearts. Based in history, this fight of freedom tells of many different peoples, deeply affected by the events unfolding around them, each with the common desire for a new life of freedom and independence in this newly settled country.
Born in the Philippine Islands, Benjamin W. Farley grew up on tobacco and cattle farms around Abingdon, VA. He is a graduate of Davidson College, (A.B.) and earned his master's degree and doctorate of philosophy from Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, VA. As an ordained minister, Farley served Presbyterian churches in Virginia from 1964 to 1973. Farley was Yount's Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Erskine College, Due West, SC, where he taught from 1974 to 2000. He served as adjunct professor at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, from 2000 to 2003. He is the author of seven scholarly works, two collections of short stories, and four novels, set principally in the South.
If you cannot make the signing, you can reserve a personalized copy of Three Thousand Days and Nights by contacting Fiction Addiction in advance at 864-675-0540 or at info@fiction-addiction.com.
