Shrimp and Grits and… Self-publishing? Yes, please! Last week we had the pleasure of being a sponsor at the PubSmart conference in beautiful Charleston, SC.
Inspired by the authors we met at this wonderful event, including bestseller Bette Lee Crosby, here are few Southern-inspired reads from NOOK Press, all at a great price.
Bette Lee Crosby
Trust, love and friendship–Abigail Anne Lannigan searched for these things all her life. Now, when she is at the tail end of her years, she teams up with a free-spirited young woman. A nobody from nowhere, who suddenly moves in across the street. Their unusual friendship comes under suspicion when a million dollars goes missing and a distant relative, claims embezzlement. Abigail knows the truth of what happened but, unfortunately, she’ll never get the chance to tell.

USA TODAY Bestseller and AGATHA AWARD Winner for Best First Novel
PI Liz Talbot is a modern Southern belle: she blesses hearts and takes names. She carries her Sig 9 in her Kate Spade handbag, and her golden retriever, Rhett, rides shotgun in her hybrid Escape. When her grandmother is murdered, Liz high-tails it back to her South Carolina island home to find the killer. But when her police-chief brother shuts her out of the investigation, she opens her own. Then her long-dead best friend pops in and things really get complicated. As more folks turn up dead, Liz must use more than just her wits and charm to keep her family safe, chase down clues from the hereafter, and catch a psychopath before he catches her.
