James Scott to Talk About Jimmy Doolittle Raid

By Jack Sparacino

Get ready for a real treat. James Scott is coming to the Beaufort Library on June 25 to talk about his highly acclaimed new book, Target Tokyo. Mr. Scott brings award winning credentials to town. He is a former Nieman Fellow at Harvard and the author of The War Below and The Attack on the Liberty, which won the coveted Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison Award.

Beaufort-based literary house Short Story America has published its newest collection of short stories: Loss Angeles, a beautiful hardcover collection of fifteen stories by Los Angeles author Mathieu Cailler. Cailler, the winner of the first Short Story America Prize for Short Fiction in 2012, will make his third trip to Beaufort (he was a guest star at the first two Short Story America festivals) to give a reading and book signing at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center.
