This one is going to make my wife very happy. We haven’t missed a Cassandra King signing yet. She’s even gone so far as to find a signed copy of Making Waves in Zion back when she was Cassandra King Ray and publishing with Black Belt Press. Well, here is a video of hubby Pat Conroy interviewing his wife about her latest book.

This Friday night at 6pm Joshilyn Jackson will be signing her new book The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, at the Alabama Booksmith.Via the Alabama Booksmith’s site:
Award-winning Atlanta author (and true Southerner) Joshilyn Jackson returns with The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, a charming, but dark, mystery full of family secrets, Southern twang, outrageous characters, and a surprise ending that will leave you kicking yourself for not seeing it coming. Joshilyn’s short fiction has been published in literary magazines and anthologies including Triquarterly and Calyx, and her plays have been produced in Atlanta and Chicago. Her best-selling debut novel, gods in Alabama, won SIBA’s 2005 Novel of the Year Award and was a #1 Booksense pick. Between, Georgia was also a #1 Booksense pick, making Jackson the first author in Booksense history to receive #1 status in back to back years.
