Twelve authors based in or near Western North Carolina celebrate Malaprop's 30th Anniversary with their contributions to the serial collaborative novel, Naked Came the Leaf Peeper. John P. McAfee, Susan Reinhardt, Vicki Lane, Tommy Hays, Wayne Caldwell, Fred Chappell, Alan Gratz, Annette Clapsaddle, Gene Cheek, and Linda Marie Barrett outdid themselves as they built upon a story arc brilliantly imagined in the first chapter by Brian Lee Knopp and brought to a laugh-out-loud finish by Tony Earley.
Lovely local phenom Stephanie Perkins returns with her newest book, Lola & the Boy Next Door. The former librarian and author of Anna & the French Kiss will be celebrating her second book with a reading and discussion here at Malaprop’s. Meet the author whose writing School Library Journal called “delightful” and “refreshingly witty.”
