Best-selling writer Pat Conroy (1945–2016) inspired a worldwide legion of devoted fans numbering in the millions, but none are more loyal to him and more committed to sustaining his literary legacy than the many writers he nurtured over the course of his fifty-year writing life. In sharing their stories, his fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared understanding of his lasting impact on literary life in and well beyond the American South. Winner of 17 book awards, the anthology Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy is a collection of remembrances from 67 writers befriended, beloved, taught, mentored, and championed by Conroy—and no two stories are the same. Neither are any two panel discussions among the contributors.
Join us at Village Social of Habersham on Monday, November 17, 6:00-8:00 p.m., for a lively conversation, moderated by Our Prince of Scribes co-editor and Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt and featuring a trio of contributing writers: Lowcountry Weekly columnist and publisher and Conroy’s past research assistant Margaret Shinn Evans; Willie Morris Award-winning author of One Good Mama Bone, Bren McClain; and writer, former educator, and Pat Conroy Literary Center board chair Sean A. Scapellato.
The $25 registration fee includes the presentation, refreshments, and a donation in support of the year-round educational mission of the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center. Register in advance for this event and others in this series athttps://www.villagesocialhabersham.net/upcoming-events

Book Launch for Donna Keel Armer, Author of One Note Murders

The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center is honored to host the book launch event for Donna Keel Armer’s One Note Murders ~ Book #3 in the Cat Gabbiano Mystery Series. Join us on Saturday, November 15, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at 601 Bladen St., in downtown Beaufort. Free and open to the public; no advance registration required. Books will be available for sale and signing. Refreshments will be provided. The author will be in conversation with Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. Books will be available for sale and signing before and after the brief program.
ABOUT THE BOOK“One Note Murders, Donna Keel Armer’s latest in the highly addictive Cat Gabbiano series, delivers a sumptuous blend of mystery, music, and memory. Armer spins a story that moves with operatic grace—from the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany to the dark chambers of the human heart—familiar territory Armer readers will recognize and relish. Her heroine, Cat Gabbiano, brave, flawed, and unforgettable, moves through a landscape as stunning as it is perilous, where loyalty and fear share the same breath. The twists are breathtaking, the writing luminous, and the final note—like Bocelli’s own—lingers in the imagination of the reader long after the curtain falls.”—Karen Warner Schueler, author of The Sudden Caregiver: A Roadmap to Resilient Caregiving.
“In the third installment of Donna Keel Armer’s Cat Gabbiano Mystery Series, Cat returns to Italy, hoping for a chance to honor her murdered best friend—but trouble finds her first. Familiar faces resurface, new ones emerge with hidden motives, and Cat is pulled deeper into a mystery where every clue plays a part in a deadly symphony. Suspenseful and evocative, One Note Murders is Armer’s most gripping adventure yet.”—Dana Ridenour, author of the award-winning Lexie Montgomery Undercover FBI Series
In Book #3 of the Cat Gabbiano Mystery Series, One Note Murders, Cat leaves the South Carolina Lowcountry for her beloved Italy—all because of a promise she made to her best friend Stella. What should have been the trip of a lifetime to a Bocelli concert becomes a funeral dirge when Cat discovers that danger still lurks in every shadow.
As she crosses the Atlantic, Cat is unaware of the obstacles awaiting her. Will her fragile relationship with Commissario Lorenzo be rekindled—or shattered forever? Is Riccardo still locked away, or has he found a way back into her life? Can she unravel the mystery of Maria and Gino’s kidnapped grandson before it’s too late—or will she lose her own life trying?
From the elegance of a posh Tuscan resort to the soaring notes of an unforgettable concert, Cat follows a twisting trail that leads only one way: toward blood, betrayal, and the chilling mark of a single, deadly musical note.
Once again, Donna Keel Armer delivers a labyrinth of mystery, murder, and intrigue that will keep readers turning the page long after the music fades.
ABOUT THE AUTHORDonna Keel Armer resides in the beautiful Lowcountry of Beaufort, South Carolina, with her husband of forty-two years.

Nature Writing: Kayak on the Chechessee and Write about It, with Katherine Tandy Brown

We 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.
Katherine 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!

ABOUT THE NOVELSixteen-year-old Mina is frustrated by Daddy’s drinking, her mom’s fanatical religious beliefs, and growing up poor in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Most of her teachers assume she won’t amount to much despite her 4.0 GPA, and the country club guys think she’s easy prey. But they don’t know Mina’s dark secret: She can control a magical force of supernatural creatures known as the Shadow Faces. Mina doesn’t want powers. All she wants to do is escape the trailer park for a leafy college campus far away. But when her crush, Gabe, is stalked by a shapeshifting preacher/wolf, Mina learns to use her powers to protect him. Mina soon discovers the same preacher is trafficking teens for a mystical brothel and has kidnapped her best friend, Erin, after a failed attempt at conversion therapy. Can Mina use the Shadow Faces to save Erin and the other kids without losing her chance at a normal life?
“Magical realism and small-town horror intertwine…[and] hums with a satisfying mix of humanity and creepiness. Where Dark Things Rise is ultimately about acceptance, family (both blood and found), and the power of choice. Fans who like some heart in their horror will find plenty of it beating here.”–Publisher’s Weekly
ABOUT THE AUTHORAndrew K. Clark is a writer from Alexander, North Carolina, outside of Asheville where he now resides. His debut novel, Where Dark Things Grow, was published in 2024.
