Coming Home to Sweetpatch Island
Posted By Scott on February 9, 2009
Just confirmed we’ll be in Charleston, South Carolina on April 8th for a book signing at the Waldenbooks in the Charleston Place hotel. Charleston is a beautiful city at the epicenter of the Low Country and a mere stone’s throw from fictional Sweetpatch Island, home to Boo Taylor, Gussie Dutton, Laylee Colbriar, the Beast and the rest of the King of Nod population. I’ll be signing books from 1:00 - 3:00. I’ll keep you informed of any other events scheduled while I’m in town.
A new review just came in from Curled Up with a Good Book. A great review (the reviewer calls King of Nod “a modern classic,” and “one of the best Southern Gothic novels”) although she mistakes her inability to connect dots with “editing flaws.” I’m going to have to defend Rachel Fichter, the editor at Hooded Friar, who, in addition to being a wonderful human being, does NOT commit editing flaws. Any flaws with the book are mine alone. In this case, however, I’m more inclined to believe the reviewer needs to go back and read a bit more carefully. We didn’t spoonfeed the answers to the many riddles the book poses, but the answers are all there. (See the link to the review on the REVIEWS page.)
