SUMMARY:Open Mic Night--Featuring Debut Novelist Mary J. Nestor\, Author of Bus No. 7
DESCRIPTION:The Pat Conroy Literary Center’s monthly Open Mic Night will be held at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.) on Thursday\, October 9\, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Our featured novelist will be Mary J. Nestor\, author of Bus No. 7. Open Mic will also include short readings of 3 to 5 minutes each by other writers in many genres. \nInterested in reading as part of Open Mic? Let us know at contact@patconroyliterarycenter.org. \nAbout Our Featured AuthorMary J. Nestor attended Marquette University in Wisconsin\, and has a bachelor of Business Administration from Washington Adventist University. She has previously published a children’s book\, Emily’s Best Birthday Party Ever! Her career as a manager\, consultant\, and human resources director inspired her second book\, Say It Now! Say It Right! How to Handle Tough and Tender Conversations. Nestor enrolled in a writer’s conference in 2016\, resulting in Bus No. 7\, a finalist in the Novel-In-Progress category of the 2022 William Faulkner Literary Competition.Nestor lives on Hilton Head Island\, where she also sings with the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra Chorus and the Hilton Head Choral Society. \n“Mary Nestor’s debut novel introduces a collection of unsavory and dangerous characters that sweep the reader into a dark landscape of crime and addiction where even the savvy detective has to play catch-up. Bus No. 7 has readers wondering—what awaits when they turn the next page?”—Karen Dove Barr\, author of Burnt Pot Island  \n“Bus No. 7 is an action-packed ride filled with high-voltage suspense and characters who aren’t always what they seem. The twists and turns in this edgy thriller had me riveted past my bedtime. Mary J. Nestor is a masterful storyteller\, and I hope she’s writing a sequel.”—Helen P. Bradley\, author of Breach of Trust

SUMMARY:An Evening with Elaine Neil Orr\, Author of Dancing Woman\, in Conversation with Bren McClain
DESCRIPTION:NeverMore Books and the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with visiting novelist Elaine Neil Orr\, author of Dancing Woman\, in conversation with fellow novelist Bren McClain\, award-winning author of One Good Mama Bone. Free and open to public\, this in-person event will be held at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort) on Tuesday\, October 7\, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.\, with books available for sale and signing through NeverMore Books. Seating is limited; please call the store to reserve your spot: 843-379-7025. \nABOUT THE BOOKElaine Neil Orr\, born in Nigeria to expat parents\, brings us an indelible portrait of a young female artist\, torn between two men and two cultures\, struggling to find her passion and her purpose. It’s 1963 and Isabel Hammond is an expat who has accompanied her agriculture aid worker husband to Nigeria\, where she is hoping to find inspiration for her art and for her life. Then she meets charismatic local singer Bobby Tunde\, and they share a night of passion that could upend everything. Seeking solace and distraction\, she returns to her painting and her home in a rural town where she plants a lemon tree and unearths an ancient statue buried in her garden. She knows that the dancing female figure is not hers to keep\, yet she is reluctant to give it up\, and soon\, she notices other changes that make her wonder what the dancing woman might portend. \nAgainst the backdrop of political unrest in Nigeria\, Isabel’s personal situation also becomes precarious. She finds herself in the center of a tide of suspicion\, leaving her torn between the confines of her domestic life and the desire to immerse herself in her art and in the culture that surrounds her. The expat society\, the ancient Nigerian culture\, her beautiful family\, and even the statue hidden in a back room—each trouble and beguile Isabel. Amid all of this\, can she finally become who she wants to be? \n“Sure to become a popular book club pick.”—Southern Review of Books \n“Brimming with vivid description\, deeply rooted in time and place\, and with a fascinating cast of complicated\, enigmatic characters\, Dancing Woman is ultimately a story of longing—for a sense of self\, community\, redemption\, and healing—and a profound exploration of the transformative power of art in its many forms.”—Charles Frazier\, Cold Mountain and The Trackers \n“The urgency of protagonist Isabell Hammond’s voice and her desires mixed with the dreaminess and other-worldliness of the setting creates a singularly spellbinding and original read. I literally could not put this book down!”—Lee Smith\, Silver Alert and The Last Girls \nABOUT THE AUTHORThe author of six books\, Elaine Neil Orr was born and grew up among the forests and rivers of Southwestern Nigeria. Her explorations of home and exile and spiritual connection are rooted in those rich formative years. She comes to the American South by way of that other South in West Africa. After devoting herself to literary scholarship in the early part of her career\, Elaine could no longer resist the call of creative writing. She first published a memoir\, Gods of Noonday: A White Girl’s African Life\, followed by two novels\, A Different Sun and Swimming Between Worlds\, finalist for the 2019 Phillip H. McMath Post-Publication Book Award in fiction. Dancing Woman is her third novel. \nElaine has received numerous prizes and awards\, including most recently the 2023 John Ehle Prize\, North Carolina Literary Review\, and the 2021 Denny C. Plattner Award in Creative Writing\, Appalachian Review. She has won grants from the NEH\, the North Carolina Arts Council\, and North Carolina Humanities. Elaine received her Ph.D. from Emory University and is Professor of English at North Carolina State University. She also serves on the faculty of the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing. She lives in Raleigh\, North Carolina\, with her husband\, Andy\, and their beloved pup\, Sam. \nABOUT THE INTERVIEWERBren McClain’s critically acclaimed debut novel One Good Mama Bone won the 2017 Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction and the 2018 Patricia Winn Award for Southern Literature. It was also named Pulpwood Queen 2017 Book of the Year\, a 2017 Great Group Reads by the Women’s National Book Association\, a Southeastern Independent Booksellers Association (SIBA) Okra pick\, longlisted for SIBA’s Southern Book Prize and a finalist for the 2018 Crook’s Corner Prize. Most recently\, the French translation (retitled Mama Red) was selected for the 2021 Prix Maya\, an award given for France’s best animal novel. Bren is now working on her next novel\, which has already received the gold medal for the William Faulkner Novel-in-Progress. Bren hails from upstate South Carolina\, Anderson\, where her novel is set.

The festivities always includes concerts\, arts & crafts\, educational activities and two fun days of several local cookers filling Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park offering samples of Lowcountry dishes featuring local wild-caught shrimp. \nOne of Beaufort’s most popular festivals\, the excitement kicks off at 5pm Friday and includes live music starting at 5:15 by Threshold Party Band and then Billy and the Jets takes the stage with the music of Elton John & Billy Joel at 7:15pm along with several area cookers previewing their creative shrimp concoctions for Saturday’s serious competitions. \nBut\, you don’t have to wait until this evening arrives because you can enjoy browsing through the festival’s Arts & Crafts Market\, which starts at 12pm. \nThe event will continue on Saturday with the popular Run Forrest Run 5K race starting at 8am\, followed by live music throughout the day starting at 12pm featuring The Parris Island Marine Band\, followed by The Deckhands\, and Lyn Avenue. There will also be a Kids Corner festuring Rogue Magician\, and the Arts & Crafts Market…and lots and lots and lots of SHRIMP! \nLocal cookers will be set up throughout the park serving their best while vying for the trophies including Best Shrimp Dish\, which is voted on by a panel of shrimp-familiar judges\, and the People’s Choice award\, which is voted on by you. The overall winner will be awarded the Silver Cup and will have a full year of bragging rights. \nThis year’s line up of delicious seafood and other delectable food includes offerings from Bellyfull By Tyger\, Mother Smokin’ Good\, Food Savvy Spices\, Sea Eagle Market\, Sea Eagle Fusion\, and treats from Meg’s Sweet Treats and Sassy Sweets\, and many more. \nAlso at the event on Saturday\, you can enter in the Sea Island Rotary Club’s annual Charity Shrimp Race at 3pm and check out thousands of rubber shrimp racing as they float down the Beaufort River towards a finish line full of fabulous prizes with a Grand Prize of $30\,000. \nIf you need help with parking in downtown\, because it can be a challenge sometimes\, visit our Downtown Beaufort Parking Map. \nThe 31st Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival ….celebrating our local food and culture with tons of family fun….Beaufort-style.

SUMMARY:Nature Writing: Kayak on the Chechessee and Write about It\, with Katherine Tandy Brown
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Required. Click the orange “Book a Program” button on our website to sign up!portroyalsoundfoundation.org \nWe who live in the South Carolina Lowcountry are fortunate to be surrounded by its extraordinary nature – the marsh and its seasons\, live oaks dripping with Spanish moss\, 180 degrees of ever-changing sky\, marsh and shore birds\, crabs and dolphins and fish\, the bright sunshine that lights this southern world\, and of course\, water…the ocean and rivers and their tides. In this workshop you’ll kayak on the Chechessee River with guides from the Maritime Center for an afternoon immersion in Carolina’s nature at its finest.Then – like Henry David Thoreau on Walden Pond – you’ll take pen to paper and write about any part of the adventure you choose. Anyone at any level of writing\, from rank beginner to pretty darn good\, can write using a method called writing practice\, developed by writing workshop guru Natalie Goldberg and presented in her classic book\, Writing Down the Bones. You’ll learn how to get rid of the self-critic so that your thoughts flow freely onto the page. And you’ll leave with a chunk of nature writing and a memory of time well spent.Dress for a journey on the water\, and be sure to bring sunscreen\, a water bottle\, notebook or journal\, and several pens. \nKatherine Tandy Brown has explored the world as a freelance travel writer for 20-plus years. She has taught memoir writing\, travel writing\, writing practice\, et al\, in the USCB’s OLLI Continuing Ed program\, Tech College of the Lowcountry\, Pat Conroy Literary Center\, Palm Key and Thera Vista Retreat Centers\, her downtown Beaufort cottage…and nature writing on a sandbar in the Beaufort River\, her favorite classroom so far!
