SUMMARY:An Evening with photographer and writer Pete Candler\, author of A Deeper South
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: This event has been postponed and will be rescheduled for early 2025.\nThursday\, October 24\, 2024 – 5:00-6:30 PM EDT\nPrice: Free\nRegistration: Seating is limited; please call to reserve your spot: 843-379-7025.\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \nThe nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with photographer and writer Pete Candler\, author of A Deeper South\, on Thursday\, October 24\, at 5:00 p.m.\, at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort). \nFree and open to the public. Books will be available for sale and signing. Please call in advance to reserve a seat for this free event: 843-379-7025. \nAbout A Deeper South\nIn A Deeper South: The Beauty\, Mystery\, and Sorrow of the Southern Road\, Pete Candler offers a travel narrative drawn from twenty-five years of road-tripping through the backroads of the American South. Featuring Candler’s own photography\, the book taps into the public imagination and the process of both remembering and forgetting that define our collective memory of place. Candler\, who belongs to one of Georgia’s most recognizable families\, confronts the uncomfortable truths of his own ancestors’ roles in the South’s legacy of white supremacy with a masterful mix of authority and a humbling sense that his own journey of unforgetting and recovering has only just begun. \n“A beautifully crafted journey through the past and current South that will interest Southerners and readers curious about the region and its history.”―Library Journal \n“A righteous plumbing of suppressed family histories\, a vigorous exorcism of the myths and willful ignorance that trouble the land of his birth\, A Deeper South blazes a path through the nostalgia thicket for readers who want to make sense of their inheritances. Candler writes with indignation and empathy\, showing us a better way to see the South so that we can better love any place we call home.”―John T. Edge\, author of The Potlikker Papers and host of TrueSouth \n“Part history\, part memoir\, and part self-discovery\, Candler calls on us to face the demons of our past so that we can truly appreciate the region we call home.”―Karen L. Cox\, author of Dreaming of Dixie: How the South Was Created in American Popular Culture \nAbout the Author \nBorn and raised in Atlanta\, Georgia\, Pete Candler is a writer\, photographer\, and filmmaker whose work has appeared in Los Angeles Review of Books\, Bitter Southerner\, Washington Post\, and elsewhere. He lives in Asheville\, North Carolina. \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.

SUMMARY:Book Launch Drop In: Joy Corley author of Percy Goes Camping... Maybe
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 26\, 2024 – 2:00-4:00 PM EDT\nPrice: Free\nVenue: Pat Conroy Literary Center | 601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort \nWebsite: Facebook Event Page \nThe nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host a free public drop-in launch event for local author Joy Corley’s debut children’s book\, Percy Goes Camping… Maybe. Join us outside on Saturday\, October 26\, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.) in downtown Beaufort. No advance registration required. Books will be available for sale and signing. Light refreshments will be provided. \nAbout Percy Goes Camping… Maybe \nPercy Goes Camping… Maybe is a true story about overcoming your fears. Percy is an 80-pound\, fun loving\, Red Nose Staffordshire Terrier who is afraid of most anything new\, and the teardrop camper Ladybug was no exception! \nAlways curious\, Percy was the first one to bolt out the door when the camper appeared in the driveway and he was the first one to whip around and quickly head back inside\, seeking safety from this strange contraption. Being ever-so-nosy\, he eventually and very cautiously began to get acquainted with Ladybug\, but only after running away and hiding in the bushes multiple times before deciding this camping business might not be so scary after all. \n“In this clever\, relatable\, and heartwarming story\, Percy the dog shows us how overcoming our fears can open up a world of fun! I recommend this beautifully illustrated story to little ones ages 4 to 8 as well as their big people.”—Susan Sullivan\, author of Bob Tales\, Land of the Woody Warbles \n“PERCY! Where have you been all my life\, sweet boy? You make me want to go camping with you and try new things! | hope every child gets to read your story and be inspired to try something new. Go Percy GOOOOO!”—Bren McClain\, author of One Good Mama Bone \nAbout the Author \nJoy Corley\, earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of South Carolina. She worked in many different capacities in the field of social work until retiring in 2021\, after 24 years as a Care Coordinator at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. \nJoy became a lover of children’s books after her son Clay was born in 1982. She always wanted to write a children’s book and was just looking for the right inspiration whenever Percy came into her life. Always an animal lover\, Percy became the new character in a long list of characters in the household she shares with her husband\, Rick and five other rescues. Joy also enjoys reading\, being a volunteer with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Sea Turtle Program and Beaufort County Animal Services. \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
