Just in time for Father’s Day, D. Clayton Meadows will join us Saturday, June 9 at 1:00 pm to sign copies of his tale of men and submarines at war, Of Ice and Steel. It’s Hunt for Red October on steroids. Meadows’ novel gives a nerve-wracking scenario of how men and machines might react to a mysterious threat. In this case, the crew of a WWII German U-Boat with an exotic cargo wakes after sixty years in suspended animation and continues their war mission oblivious to the changes that have occurred in the world at large. The result is a frighteningly realistic yarn of how skilled submariners of different times and nations figure out what happened and deal with it… hopefully, without destroying the world in the process.

Don will be on hand to answer questions and, of course, sign copies of his book, which can be purchased that day or prior to the signing at Here Be Books. Visitors are, of course, welcome to bring copies they purchased elsewhere for signing, too.

To learn more about the author and his book Of Ice and Steel, visit the author’s web site at: www.oficeandsteel.com. For information about the book signing and other Here Be Books events, please contact Tina McDuffie at (843) 695-1498.

Calling all Harry Potter Fans!! Calling all Harry Potter Fans!!

Wikipedia Definition:

Wizard rock is a musical movement dating from 2002 that consists of a number of bands formed by young musicians playing songs about J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter literary phenomenon. The lyrics are usually humorous and simple, and many bands write songs from the point of view of a particular character in the books, usually the character who features in the band’s name. If they are performing live, they may also cosplay that character. Though most fans of the music are previous fans of Harry Potter, some bands have attracted listeners outside of the Harry Potter fanbase. Wizard rock has recently evolved to become deeper and more refined.
