Authors’ Night is a monthly event that features local authors. It is free and open to the public. Enjoy light refreshments, music by Ken Baldwin and Igo Agafonov, a 30-minute presentation by one of the featured authors, and a book signing by all participating authors. Books will be available for purchase and personally autographed by the author.

The featured author presenting for July will be Tom Poland. Tom’s work has appeared in magazines throughout the South. Among his recent books are Classic Carolina Road Trips From Columbia, Georgialina, A Southland; As We Knew It; and Reflections of South Carolina, Vol. II.

He writes a weekly column for newspapers and journals in Georgia and South Carolina about the South, its people, traditions, lifestyle, and changing culture and speaks to groups across South Carolina and Georgia. He’s the editor of Shrimp, Collards & Grits, a Lowcountry lifestyle magazine. The History Press released his new book, South Carolina Country Roads, April 16, 2018.
