In upcoming weeks, there’ll be numerous opportunities to hear Carrboro’s own Erica Eisdorfer read from her debut novel, The Wet Nurse’s Tale. She’s making appearances at Durham’s Regulator Bookshop on Aug. 6 at 7 p.m., at Raleigh’s Quail Ridge Books on Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. and McIntyre’s Fine Books in Fearrington Village on Aug. 29 at 11 a.m. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, loved Erica’s book. Come see why!
In September, look for another of Carrboro’s resident writers, Clay Carmichael, at the children’s area of the N.C. Literary Festival. With appearances by Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, Brian Pinkney, Judy Schachner, Hillsborough’s John Claude Bemis and many other noted authors and illustrators, the children’s area is destined to be a real hit with our young readers. And young sports fans will be delighted to learn that players from the NBA, WNBA, Carolina Hurricanes, Carolina RailHawks and Durham Bulls will also read stories, give autographs and share team giveaways at the festival, which runs Sept. 10-13 at UNC.
