Book Signing for Greenville Children's Author Melinda Long
 Greenville, SC, October 30, 2012 - Christmas time is here at last! To celebrate, Greenville children's author Melinda Long will be signing copies of her picture book, The Twelve Days of Christmas in South Carolina (Sterling, hardcover, $12.95), at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, December 8th, from 1-3pm. This event is free, and we will be serving Christmas-themed refreshments.
Rainbow-painted houses, yummy shrimp stew, war heroes, prowling pirates, kudzu monsters, leaping dolphins . . . and a wren in a palmetto tree: that's a South Carolina Christmas, and Laura is experiencing it all for the first time! Kids will love exploring this magical southern state with her.
 Melinda Long began her writing career on a rainy day when she was six. Her mother, tired of hearing how bored Melinda was, told her to write a story about Yogi Bear and his friends. She even gave Melinda a typewriter to use. It was so much fun, Melinda just kept writing. Now it's one of her favorite things to do. Melinda lives in South Carolina, not far from two pirate hangouts. She enjoys reading, acting, and visiting schools to talk to kids about writing. In addition to The Twelve Days of Christmas in South Carolina, Melinda is also the author of the bestselling picture books How I Became a Pirate and Pirates Don't Change Diapers, as well as the companion book, Pirates Activity Book.
If you cannot make the signing, you can reserve a personalized copy of any of Ms. Long's books by contacting Fiction Addiction in advance at 864-675-0540 or at info@fiction-addiction.com.
