The Wind in the Woods is a romantic thriller that reveals a man’s devotion to North Carolina’s Green River Valley and the camp he built to share its wonders; his daughter’s determination to hike the Blue Ridge—unaware that a serial killer is stalking her; and nine-year-old Alvin Magee’s heart-warming discovery of freedom and responsibility in a place apart from his adult world.
Charismatic widower, Tiger Morrison, spent a lifetime saving children from nature-deficit disorder, only to find himself in the fight of his life to protect his undisturbed world from the land grab waging in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains. He’d fighting to win Katie Warlick too, but she can’t forgive him for
not wanting her the way she wanted him twenty years ago.
If you ever went to camp, you’ll love this book, and if you didn’t, you’ll wish you had.
About the Author: Rose Senehi is known for her Romantic Thrillers told against a backdrop of environmental concerns. Her fifth novel, The Wind in the Woods published in 2008, is the second in her Blue Ridge Series. The first, In the Shadows of Chimney Rock, was characterized by Fred Chappell as “ … like a sled down the side of Pisgah with all kinds of stumps, trees, rocks, and gullies in the way, each one a near miss. What fun!”

Bravo, Nancy
Congratulations to the Network’s good friend Nancy Olson, owner of Raleigh’s Quail Ridge Books & Music, who will receive a 2010 Raleigh Medal of the Arts in a ceremony on October 6. Nancy has done as much for North Carolina’s writers, and North Carolina’s literary culture, as anyone, and this honor is well-deserved.

Hat's Off!
Gary Carden, whose play Nance Dude has been filmed and is now available in DVD. Gary says, “When I was a child, I used to see an old woman trudging along the road that runs by the Tuckaseegee River. She always carried on her back a great rack of split kindling to sell. I finally learned that people called her "Nance Dude," and that she was an outcast because she had allegedly murdered her granddaughter. She lived alone in a one-room shack with a collection of stray dogs. When she died, she was 104. Some 12 years ago, I decided to tell her story, and after two years of research, I produced a play called Nance Dude. After 10 years of producing it in libraries and community colleges, two filmmakers, Arthur Hancock and Katie Brugger, filmed it. This one-woman show is enacted by Elizabeth Westall, a blind actress who lives in Burnsville, NC. It can be ordered from me for $20 plus $3.00 for postage and handling: Gary Carden, 236 Cherry Street, Sylva, NC, 28779. I have a blog, http://hollernotes.blogspot.com, and a website, www.TanneryWhistle.net.” |
