Netwest Member Susan Snowden’s New Book Launches at Fountainhead Books

              

     
The Fountainhead Bookstore in Hendersonville NC will launch 
Susan Snowden’s new book,A Closet Full of Masks, on Friday, Oct. 2, at 
5 p.m., with refreshments and door prizes. Susan will also give a talk 
and sign books. (Call the store at 828-697-1870 to reserve a ticket.) 


Published by Archer Hill in Columbia, SC, the book is a novella and fifteen short stories, most of which are set in western North Carolina. From the back cover: “Susan Snowden’s wry humor suffuses even the most poignant of these stories, all set in the South—from south Georgia to the southern Appalachians. Thematically, she treats readers to a smorgasbord of tales whose  characters—young, old, affluent, poor—are struggling in various ways. Presented with a rare opportunity, an artist must face his insecurity; an uneducated woman searches for a way to win her son’s respect; a reclusive librarian seeks solace after the death of her father . . .”

            Susan’s been a member of the North Carolina Writers' Network since 1995 when she moved to the mountains from Atlanta. Her work has appeared in many journals and anthologies, and her first novel, Southern Fried Lies, won a 2013 IPPY Award for Best Fiction in the Southeast.

            A Closet Full of Masks is available at indie bookstores and from online sellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
