On a lovely spring day, join us as the clouds gather over WORDS TO GO and Carole checks out fictional murder and gothic goings-on (not to mention grim tales of the book biz). Carole reads from Linda Hutsell-Manning's debut novel, That Summer in Franklin, and there's cheery news about how bad sales stats can wreck a writer's career. Not enough of the heavy stuff?? Carole's summer-cottage reading includes two dark, knockout novels by the late Flannery O'Connor. We're always cheery when we read your published work.
