{All good southern stories have to include a church.}

Dearest readers,

Right now, the library table is piled high with stacks of books. Isn’t that how it should always be with library tables? 

In this case, the stacks are copies of the finalists for the 2013 SIBA Book Awards, which will be sent out this week to various bookseller judges to be revisited, read, and reported on.  Over the next few weeks, booksellers will be considering the relative merits of Wiley Cash’s A Land More Kind Than Home against George Singleton’s Stray DEcorum, or Karen White’s Sea Change. They’ll be trying to decide if William Joyce or Carl Hiaasen is the better children’s writer. If a book about the history of New Orleans is better than a story about saving a mountain or a collection of paintings from a Gullah community in South Carolina.

Her ladyship does not envy the judges their task of having to pick one “best” book in a collection of very very fine ones. She does, however, rather envy them the excuse of having to read all these books in order to come to a decision.

Here are a list of the finalists for the 2013  SIBA Book Award. Which would you pick to win?

Lady Banks' Commonplace Book

Noteworthy poetry and prose from her ladyship's bedside reading stack.

Stella!
“A couple people down that way,” the woman said, pointing with her thumb down Slaughterhouse Road, “said that you might have taken a stray dog in.” She looked past my body, at all the boxes stacked up in the foyer, reaching back  into the den.

“There aren’t my things,” I said. “These are my wife’s brother’s belongings. These are my ex-wife’s brother’s things. They’re my ex-brother-in-law’s boxes, I swear to God.”
Her name ended up being Tabitha. Tabitha! Who’s named that anymore? She said, “I’m Tabitha. The dog is about half-pit bull, half-retriever, half-shepherd, and half-chow. She’s a sweetheart, and her name is Blanche. Well, when I got her from the pound her name was Stella, but I thought that I didn’t want to go outside yelling ‘Stella!’ like that, you know, so I went with another one of Tennessee Williams’s characters.”

I would’ve bet that Tabitha took me for just an ordinary, white-trash, hoarding fool who didn’t know A Streetcar Named Desire, and that she wanted to show off her sophomore lit skills. I said, “No dogs around here. Why didn’t you name her A Negro Woman or A Mexican Woman? You could’ve named her Eunice, after the landlady, or Prostitute. Or you could’ve changed plays entirely and named her Laura Wingfield.”

I thought about Gentleman Caller, but couldn’t think of that character’s name at the time. And I guess it wouldn’t have worked anyways, what with the dog being female.

Tabitha said “Wow,” and smiled. “You know your Tennessee Williams. I didn’t think anyone around here knew anything about anything.”

--George Singleton, from “Humans Being” in Stray Decorum (Dzanc Books, 2012) 9781938103544

Book Gossip

Literary News & Gossip passed along from the readers, the writers, the reviewers, the resellers, the riff raff, and dutifully repeated here by her ladyship (who falls into the last category).

EW has the first image from the William Faulkner adaptation that also stars Franco (natch) along with "True Blood" thesp Jim Parrack, with Danny McBride, Ahna O'Reilly, Logan Marshall-Green and Tim Blake Nelson. To say the movie is ambitious is an understatement, as the source material itself is challenging, told through the voices of 15 different characters, but Franco has been working hard to get it right. A first look at As I Lay Dying

“There’s something about holding a book in your hands that makes it so special,” said historian Mary Ann Neeley, who has written extensively about her favorite subject. “A setting like the one we have today couldn’t have been better, either.” Alabama Book Festival

The cadence of Morris’ tale is the beat of the Southern heart, so familiar, yet with all the surprises, twists and turns that evolve in real life. I have to say that I believe his grandfather’s story. This is the kind of tale that people tell over and over again while sitting on the porch on long summer evenings as the cicadas make their music in the background. Man in the Blue Moon

“I’ve never run across a good Southern story that doesn’t have mention of a church or someone going to church, and it’s never just church, but it’s a specific one” What makes a southern story?

Patti Callahan Henry is a well-loved Southern author who is known for her ability to tap into women’s hearts and bring forth stories that touch the soul. “And Then I Found You” is a prime example of Henry’s storytelling mastery. This novel contains a tale of first love and kisses, promises of forever, loss, heartache, and finding love again. And Then I Found You

Citizen-Times columnist George Ellison, recently named a winner of one of Wild South’s Roosevelt-Ashe Conservation Awards, has received another honor for his work, this time for his poetry. Ellison, who recently edited “High Vistas: An Anthology of Nature Writing from Western North Carolina and the Great Smoky Mountains,” has been nominated by the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance as a finalist for the 2013 SIBA Book Award in poetry for his book “Permanent Camp” (History Press). Permanent Camp

An awful lot of people die in Jill McCorkle's uplifting new novel, “Life After Life.” The first death — that of 80-year-old Lois Elizabeth Malcolm Flowers — comes as something of a shock, but you soon become used to it. Life After Life

Author Gossip

University of Montevallo graduate and bestselling author Cassandra King will be the featured speaker at the institution's spring commencement May 4. The university will honor King with a Doctor of Letters honoris causa from her alma mater at the ceremony. She earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in English from the university. Cassandra King

Author George Singleton is leaving the Governor’s School for the Arts, where he’s been a teacher for 13 years. In the fall, Singleton moves to Wofford College, where he’ll hold the John C. Cobb Endowed Chair in the Humanities. George Singleton

In 1950, when Mississippi author William Faulkner received a call telling him that he had won the Nobel Prize for Literature, he answered, “I won’t be able to come to receive the prize myself. It’s too far away. I am a farmer down here and I can’t get away.” William Faulkner

When one of my favorite writers, Norman Maclean, first attempted to publish his collection of short stories that contains his now-famous novella, “A River Runs Through It,” one publisher who rejected the manuscript included a note that read, “These stories have trees in them!” Maclean joked about this response in the prologue of his book, calling the “trees” in his writing “my literary handicap.” Susan Tekulve

To Spartanburg novelist Susan Tekulve, “You have to follow where your story takes you, no matter how long and circuitous the journey.” Like an immigrant itself, her prize-winning novel, In the Garden of Stone, began in Italy but ended up finding its home in the coal towns of West Virginia. In the Garden of Stone

Bookstore Gossip

I always want the bookstore to feel fun and welcoming, and for the staff and books to seem very approachable. The main ways I help connect kids to books are listening closely, asking good questions, and always staying tuned in to my younger self and what would have intrigued or excited me about a book at a certain age. Whether helping a kid, a parent, or both, genuine enthusiasm is by far the best tool in my bookseller toolbox. Spellbound Children’s Bookshop

The original bookstore was named after a 1919 novel by Christopher Morley. In tribute to both the book and the original store, Bienville Books has dubbed their upstairs area ‘The Haunted Book Loft.” Despite the tribute, the owners assure there are no actual ghosts present in the building. Bienville Books

Janet Bollum's bookstore is a fixture in downtown DeLand. Customers browse and often engage in conversation about both the classics and new releases. But the underlying story line for Bollum at the Muse Book Shop is more of an adventure, a mystery rather than a thriller with a happy ending. She remains perplexed that in Florida she must collect sales tax, an additional 6.5 percent on purchases when online giants like Amazon.com don't. Muse Book Shop

Lady Banks' {Book} Trailer Park:
So you want to work at an indie bookstore

The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey. After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Read This! Okra Picks and recommendations from Quail Ridge Books

Summer Okra Picks:

Recommended Reading from Southern Booksellers:

Recommended by Sandra at Quail Ridge Books:

A Different Sun by Elaine Neil Orr: In pre-Civil War days, a 21-year-old daughter of a wealthy Georgia plantation owner marries a man twice her age and leaves with him to take up his life as a missionary in Africa.  A Different Sun describes the social and spiritual awakening of this young woman as well as the lonely and hard life she leads.  I was mesmerized by her story as well as the portrait of the beauty of the continent and its native people. 9780425261309

The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout: Elizabeth Strouts's stories and novels are always strong with deep detail and plot.  The Burgess Boys is no exception as this is a story of a dysfunctional family and the ethnic differences in a small Maine town that is intertwined with the drama of a very bad juvenile prank. Both love and hatred within the family and community are what help begin to heal wounds that could occur in any family or town. 9781400067688

A Wedding in Haiti by Julia Alvarez: Even though the story of two journeys from the Dominican Republic to Haiti is filled with  accounts of illegal border crossings, bad or no roads, rivers to ford, situations to negotiate and the horrors of the earthquake, I read it with sheer joy.  Haiti is the poorest country in the world and we all need to try and understand how its people survive.  This true story will take you beyond what is presented in the media to where you will believe there can be a future for this beautiful country. 9781616201302

Thomas Jefferson’s Crème Brulee by Thomas J. Craughwell: Thomas Jefferson a foodie?  More than a century before Julia Child taught us the art and science of French cooking, Thomas Jefferson took his slave, James Hemings, to Paris to be trained by the finest Paris chefs in haute cuisine.  He came back with new foods and great meal ideas which would  be served at Monticello and later the White House, along with fine wine that he brought from the grand cru vineyards he toured.  This is a book for all history  buffs! 9781594745782

My Brilliant Friend, Book One by Elena Ferrante, Ann Goldstein: Using a cast list that helps a reader keep track of the many characters, I was engrossed with this tale of two smart Italian girls growing up in the 1950s in a remote area of Naples, Italy.  Shaped by poverty, violence and a patriarchal society, these best friends endure a complex friendship that describes a way of life perhaps long gone but not necessarily missed.  As it's the first of a trilogy, I will look forward to following this story that began with a present day disappearance of one of these two.  9781609450786

Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities by Vahram Muratyan: I can see a party game based on this book:  I'll tell you about a specific Paris/New York image, and you tell me the New York/Paris equivalent.  This is a book for lovers of one or both of these cities that weaves a series of comparisons and connections for travelers.  You'll want to visit each again. 9780143120254

Code of the Forest by Jon Buchan: With smart characters who quote Shakespeare and random musical lyrics along with believable courtroom scenes, this first novel from Jon Buchan is one that will hold your reading interest.  The author uses his experience as a journalist and lawyer as well as his knowledge of the nuances of a coastal Carolina town to bring a tale of political corruption that takes you from the newsroom of a small paper to the backrooms of an exclusive hunting club where deals are created and rules are broken. 9780984107353

The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian: Chris Bohjalian's account of the gruesome killing of over a million people in the Armenian genocide weaves between past and present as he tells of this little known event in two stories. One is of an American who goes to Syria in 1915 for a philanthropic expedition. Another is how her descendant looks for the truth of what her grandparents experienced. Readers will be engrossed with the descriptions of atrocities that are brought to life yet are told with compassion and grace. 9780385534796

Author 2 Author: Getting to Know Sands Hetherington

Getting to know Sands Hetherington, author of Night Buddies, Imposters, and One Far-Out Flying Machine, Dune Buggy Press, by Nancy Naigle

Sands Hetherington  will be at Barnhill's in Winston-Salem, NC 05/11/2013, 11:00 am!

Sands Hetherington writes fantastic and delightful fun-filled adventure book for kids. His latest, Night Buddies, Imposters, and One Far-Out Flying Machine is now available. Sands credits his son John for being his principal motivator. Sands raised his son as a single parent from the time John was six. He read to him every night during those formative years. He and young John developed the Crosley crocodile character in the series during months of bedtime story give-and-take. 

Nancy: I love these books. They are so colorful, and it’s got to be quite a feeling to bring something that was so special between you and your son to others to enjoy. Can you share a little about when you realized your stories were meant to be shared with a broader audience?

Sands: You seem to know some of the background: that I read to John every night from the time he could hear speech, that one night he introduced me to a red Crocodile named Crosley that he had invented for an after-lights-out buddy.John and I started throwing Crosley ideas around and making up episodes, and Crosley got to be a real member of the family.

I had a literary background and had written some grownup short stories over a number of years.I read the entire kids' canon to John.When Crosley came along I hadn't written anything in forever.Then one Saturday night I was with John at our cabin in the mountains, walking across the living room, and it just landed on me: Put John and Crosley into a sure-enough adventure!It's what they had been doing for over a year anyway.Crosley had started out as a bedtime buddy for a kid named John, so why not make him a member of Night Buddies Amalgamated, whose charter is to rescue kids from lying in bed awake and take them out on adventures.It just fell into my lap.All I had to do was figure out why Crosley was red!(It’s because he is allergic to water.Sort of.)

Nancy: Night Buddies, Imposters, and One Far-Out Flying Machine is the second in this series. Tell us a little about the story.

Sands: It's a much longer and more complicated tale than the first book, Night Buddies and the Pineapple Cheesecake Scare, but it starts the very next time John is wide awake and Crosley shows up in his room.Crosley actually dozes off under the bed this time and John has to look for him and wake him up.

Same deal, same formula.This part was already there for me.When they get outside, though, I didn't know what to do with them, and wouldn't you know, neither does Crosley.He hasn't been able to reach his brother Crenwinkle, the Night Buddies dispatcher.John and Crosley wander around trying to get in touch with Crenwinkle and finally find him getting off a bus.By that time I had it figured out.I would have Crosley look-alikes running all over town doing bad things and trying to ruin Crosley's reputation.Crenwinkle is right there with me and has come to warn them.So the Program now is to get the business stopped before Crosley is run out of town for being an undesirable.(Meaning no more Night Buddies!)

Our two friends decide on a stakeout, and this means going to a fantastic Emporium and getting a magic flying machine.The deal is, Rodney Oglesby's sauerkraut and jellybean hot dog cart keeps getting attacked by a fake Crosley, and our friends determine to fly over on top of it and watch.Soon enough, an extraneous red crocodile sneaks up and snatches the cart and sails off down the sidewalk with it, causing general pandemonium.John and Crosley chase from the air, but the impostor turns into the adjacent park and escapes.

What's going on?Why is Rodney Oglesby's sauerkraut and jellybean hot dog cart being attacked?When John and Crosley finally figure this out, the contest begins.It takes many twists and turns, and a night of fantastical flying around, and John and Crosley meet lots of cool new characters who help along the way.It's almost dawn when things get wrapped up.

Nancy: The books are eye-catching. Tell us a little about the collaborative process between you, as the author, and your illustrator.

Sands: I think I can say that I had nothing at all to do with the aesthetics of the thing, which is good.I gave the illustrator, Jessica Love, complete freedom of interpretation and choice of scenes.I only interfered when the picture strayed from the script.

Nancy: Will there be another book in the Night Buddies series? When can we expect it?

Sands: I'm working on book three as we speak and hope to have it roughed out by the end of summer.It will feature John and Crosley, of course, and my next favorite character the racing blimp.

Nancy: I’m a dog-lover and I know you are too. We just added a yellow lab puppy, Cheyenne, to our family. We now have the complete Labrador Retriever rainbow – gold, black, chocolate. Tell us about yours.

Sands: “Cheyenne,” I like that one!My two Saint Bernards are Dudley and Maggie, five-year-old littermates born on Valentine's Day.They couldn't be much more different.Dudley is a big lumbering doofus clown with a long ("rough") coat, and Maggie is an electric 110-pound runt with a short ("smooth") coat.As sweet as she can be, but you wouldn't believe the power!She once ripped a large hole on my chain-link fence with her paws, just to go visit the neighbors' dog.I finally had to electrify the fence.The two siblings are very attached, and Maggie likes to sleep half on top of Dudley.

Nancy: What do you enjoy most about being a writer?

Sands: That's easy.Mark Twain said it: "Having written."

Nancy: What’s on the horizon?

Sands: Finishing book three and doing readings at schools and bookstores.John just moved from Granada to Brussels and I need to go make sure he's behaving.After that I wouldn't mind seeing Patagonia.

Nancy: What else would you like to share?

Sands: John is thirty-three now and is a trained chef and an interpreter in five or six languages.He hasn't decided which one to do in Belgium.
