One of the pleasures in working with Book 'Em North
Carolina is meeting new authors and discovering new books. We have a wide
variety of authors represented at each Book 'Em event, from
non-fiction (inspirational, how-to, biographical, autobiographical) to the
fiction world: mysteries, romance, horror, paranormal, drama, suspense,
comedy... And I always enjoy discovering the areas in which various authors are
inspired to write about.
This week, I profiled one gem in
The Robesonian newspaper.
Kala Ambrose is a talk
show host, inspirational speaker, and a columnist for various publications,
including
The Huffington Post and
The Examiner. She has also
appeared on every major network TV: ABC, NBC and CBS and is an award-winning
author.
Follow this link to read the full article as it appeared in
The Robesonian on Sunday, June 17 about Ambrose's book,
Ghosthunting in North Carolina. Of
particular interest to me was the story about the Lost Colony of Roanoke because
the Lumbee Indians in Robeson County claim their ancestors were from the Lost
Colony. There are more than two dozen wonderful ghost stories in Ambrose's book.
I highly recommend it.
