Author/columnist Ken Burger heads to Beaufort with a new book about the South.

– Review by Margaret Evans, Editor

As a longtime columnist here at Lowcountry Weekly, I am always intrigued by other columnists and how they ply their trade – especially those who are much more successful than I and who, unlike me, have had the gumption to compile their old columns into books to be published. Ken Burger is just such a columnist, and I salute him.

International Short Story Day coincides with Beaufort author’s release on Amazon Kindle.

Did you know that June 20^th is International Short Story Day? If you’re reading this after the fact, don’t despair. There’s still plenty of time to join the world in celebrating our nation’s original literary art form. And here in Beaufort, we can even think globally while acting locally, because our own resident short story specialist, T.D. (Tim) Johnston, has just announced that one of his short stories is now available on Amazon Kindle.

A coup is a coup when TWO New York Times bestselling authors, whose books have been memorialized in films, come to the Lowcountry for the first time. And a week apart! What a summer for literature!
