Excess Baggage
Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease are hardly common subjects for fiction, and this book is hardly fiction. Highly autobiographical, this debut novel is inspiring and informative. The author is writing from experience and displays an expansive attitude of loving life despite its hardships. Realistic, frank, and moving, this book is recommended for everyone.
Kathryn Casey
Singularity: A Mystery
Texas Ranger, Sarah Armstrong, survives the death of her husband and establishes herself as a capable, savvy, determined female law enforcement officer working in a man’s world and raising her young daughter. Be prepared to read this in one sitting. This is a fast read that you can’t put down. Appropriate for everyone, this is the first of a series.
Marshall Chapman
Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller
Marshall Chapman is "a living example," as one reviewer wrote, "of the triumph of rock and roll over good breeding." Perhaps “vignettes” is too polite a word to describe these wild stories filled with celebrity and familiar names. Extraordinary insights into the creation process that is life’s blood for all artists. Solid, funny, boisterous, definitely an eye opening glimpse of life in the South during a cultural revolution.
Mark Childress
One Mississippi: A Novel
A comic emotional tour of growing up in the South. If you love a challenge, try to not laugh out loud before reaching the tenth page. If you succeed, you will be the first. Every thought and emotion rings true. But, life moves through dark periods as well. A surprising turn of events brings threat and chaos closer than we would ever want.
Judy Pace Christie
Goodness Gracious Green
A charming and uncertain journalist is delighted with her decision to keep The Green News-Item and excited about the possibility of romance with her good-looking catfish farmer/coach neighbor—and the growth of her fresh faith and friendships. But soon though, before Lois is prepared. The former owners of the paper want it back. The mayor’s dog bites her on the face. A series of fires threaten Lois. And while her friends blossom, Lois wilts.
Will Clarke
The Worthy: A Ghost's Story
An enveloping, fast, and furious read. "I've come to find that most people ignore the dead," begins The Worthy, a wickedly funny and frightening ghost story. A ghost with revenge as his sole source of energy terrorizes the one responsible for his death. The book is a strange combination of comedy and darkness that cannot be ignored. Harsh, brash characterizations emphasize the author’s points. Sensitivity and decorum are nowhere to be found.
William J. Cobb
Goodnight Texas
A dying gulf coast town, Goodnight, Texas, is threatened by a hurricane as three young people struggle through the throes of adolescence. A shadowed look at life in a small town and the effects of international finance and global warming on its inhabitants. Although Cobb’s colloquialisms and veiled prose fail to cement all the story details, he has given us a slice of life that nags with unexpected promise long after finishing the book.
Melissa Conroy

Pat Conroy
South of Broad
South of Broad, Conroy’s fifth novel and ninth book, presents readers with a Conroy first: a totally lovable father for Leo Bloom King, the story's central figure. The book is not only a love letter to the city of Charleston; it is a celebration of lifelong friendship. Conroy currently lives in Fripp Island, South Carolina with his wife, the novelist Cassandra King.
Christopher Cook
Cloven Tongues of Fire
A spiritual story, a religious story, a love story. This novella is all three in one. It’s the story of a man, Nathan Tillery, who sets out to seek salvation… and runs into a wall. It’s the story of his loving wife, Emma Jean, who keeps faith with both to her husband and her beliefs… though even she begins to have doubts.
Elizabeth Crook

A beautiful blending of the Old West with life in contemporary western America.
