Two Carolina novelists to read March 10 |
 |
The Hub City Writers Project hosts readings by
debut novelists Janna McMahan and Sarah Colton Monday, March 10 at 7:30 p.m. in
the Showroom at Hub-Bub in downtown Spartanburg. Janna McMahan of Columbia,
S.C., will read from her new book, Calling
Home, published by Kensington Press earlier this year. Sarah Colton, a
native of North Carolina, will read from Tilt
68.
|
McMahan's book, set in her native Kentucky, is a powerful
story of small town life, mothers and daughters, and the sacrifices that bind
families together. An award-winning short
story writer, her work has been selected for various literary journals such as Yamassee, StorySouth, Alimentum and
The Nantahala Review. She is the winner of the Harriette Arnow Award
from the Appalachian Writers Association.
Sarah Colton divides her time between Paris, France
and Asheville, N.C. Her articles and fiction have appeared in such publications
as Glamour and Redbook and the short story anthology They Only Laughed Later. Her
novel Tilt 68 brings the late 1960s
to life through the profound changes experienced by one Southern woman who
dares to look at her own life with open eyes.
