East Rowan Grad at Literary Bookpost

 

Former Rowan County resident, and East Rowan High School graduate Gary Carter will sign copies of his new book at Literary Bookpost on Saturday, February 27th, 1:30-3:30 p.m.  Carter is currently a resident of Charlotte, where he is a writer, editor and consultant.  Formerly an award-winning journalist, he has previously published short stories and poetry as well as essays on a variety of subjects.

 

Carter’s novel, Eliot’s Tale, is somewhat of a reverse coming-of-age story and road trip.  As 50-year-old Eliot looks back on his life, he sees the things that are done, and undone.  He sets out on a quest to discover what has been right in his life, what has been wrong, and where to go next.  Roaming on his road trip from Mississippi to Virginia to Arizona, and points in between, he encounters friends and strangers who lead him toward his answer.  And all the while, he follows the guidance on a piece of a poem, taped to his dashboard, that reads “What we call the beginning is often the end/And to make an end is to make a beginning/The end is where we start from.

 

Carter’s hefty novel, almost 500 pages, is currently available at Literary Bookpost for $19.95 in trade paperback. 

 

 

Appalachian Trial Hike Author at Bookpost

 

Tom Moose, born in 1982 and raised near Richfield, North Carolina, will be at Literary Bookpost on Saturday, February 27th, 1:30-3:30 p.m. signing his just released book about his Appalachian Trial experiences.  Moose is an Eagle Scout and graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Recreation Management.  In 2006 Moose hiked the Appalachian Trial.

 

Moose’s memoir of hiking the trail is somewhat humorously titled Only the Things That Matter:  Yet Another Appalachian Trial Memoir.  And, from the front cover photo, to some of the many included photographs, to the short graphic spread, to the epilogue, and finally to the fictional promotional “blurbs” on the back cover, the book does have a rambunctious blend of humor as well as an accurate retelling of Moose’s adventures hiking the trail.  All Appalachian Trial thru-hikes are amazing adventures, and this recounting is, as Moose himself proclaims, yet another one.

 

Moose has more adventures planned.  He is hoping to hike the Pacific Coast Trail this year, sponsoring his new adventure with proceeds from the sale of Only the Things That Matter.
