William Woodson Greenville Launch Party
 Greenville, SC, December 8, 2013 - South Carolina author William Woodson will be signing copies of his debut novel, Waccamaw Gold (Class Publishing, paperback, $16.95), at Fiction Addiction on Wednesday, December 18th from 4:30 - 7 pm. This event is free and open to the public. Wine and cheese will be served.
Molly Commander is the matriarch of a powerful Southern family and one of the richest women in America - until the night her car mysteriously disappears into the Waccamaw River. Billy Commander, her grandson and closest living relative, summoned home from France for the funeral, finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and scandal that threatens his life, as well as the lives of his protective cocoon of friends and family.
Molly's death sets in motion a chain of events interwoven with the fabric of Lowcountry life and the clandestine activities of the third largest bank in the country. From boardrooms and private clubs in New York and Atlanta to the lush setting of Pawleys Island and the South Carolina Lowcountry, the main characters, children of privilege all, come to grips with the contemporary greed of Wall Street and the complex responsibilities placed on them by great wealth.
In this 30-somethings, coming-of-age story, peopled by characters who read like old friends, birthright places Billy and his close circle at the crossroads of opposing societal forces. Will they triumph to emerge as the new generation of leadership that must become today's South?
About the author:  William Woodson is a native South Carolinian and was educated at Davidson College, the University of South Carolina School of Law, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School of Business and the Emory University Graduate School of Law.
