Greenville, SC, native Colleen Oakley will be signing copies of her debut novel, Before I Go (Gallery, hardcover, $24.99; a January Indie Next Pick), at her launch party at Fiction Addiction. This is a heart-wrenching debut novel in the bestselling tradition of P.S. I Love You about a young woman with breast cancer who undertakes a mission to find a new wife for her husband before she passes away. This event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. RSVPs are requested but not required.

|
Debut author Christopher Scotton will discuss his new novel, The Secret Wisdom of the Earth (Grand Central, hardcover, $26.00; the #1 January Indie Next List Pick), at free* book talk and signing at Fiction Addiction. Fiction Addiction owner Jill Hendrix loves The Secret Wisdom of the Earth and thinks it will be THE big Southern novel for 2015! In many ways, it reminds her of a modern-day To Kill a Mockingbird: it is a coming-of-age story about a young protagonist who is exposed to injustice and prejudice in a small Southern town but has a wonderful role model to look up to in his grandfather. *Note: This event is free and open to the public, but half of our seating will be reserved for customers who pre-order or purchase The Secret Wisdom of the Earth from Fiction Addiction.
|
Spartanburg, South Carolina, baker and author Kim "Daisy" Nelson will be signing copies of her debut cookbook, Daisy Cakes Cookbook (Starbooks, hardcover, $29.95), a collection of mouthwatering recipes of heirloom cakes, pies, cheesecakes, and sauces. This event is free and open to the public.

 A List of Things That Didn't Kill Me by Jason Schmidt
Just like Jeannette Walls, Jason Schmidt survived his childhood (in Washington state in the 70s and 80s) in spite of his parents; and just like The Glass Castle, A List of Things That Didn't Kill Me is an extremely readable memoir that would make an incredible bookclub discussion book.

 The Wives of Los Alamos by Tarashea Nesbit
While their scientist and engineer husbands were called upon to create a weapon to end all wars, the wives were called to commit to uprooted lives. The book tells their story ... collectively. The unique plural first person narrative reads almost like poetry and unifies the experiences of diverse individuals.
