Melinda Haynes |
Melinda Haynes wrote her first book in Grand Bay and now lives in Mobile. That book, Mother of Pearl, was one of the most successful debut novels by any Alabamian. It may have been some help that it was selected as Oprah's summer read. We're very proud to be the first bookstore in America to schedule Melinda for a signing, long before Oprah came along. Well, actually, she booked us when we met at the Birmingham-Southern Writing Today Conference.
Melinda's second book, Chalktown, was named one of the best seven books in America by the country's independent booksellers. Her latest book, Willem's Field, cements her reputation as an accomplished storyteller.
Rick Bragg in the Movies
Even though you weren’t able to attend the September 26, 2011, sold-out world premiere of Alabama’s Rick Bragg: Out of the Dirt, here’s your opportunity to view the entire movie at home, as well as much bonus footage not seen in the original documentary.
Listen in on distinguished Alabamaians, local friends and family tell inside tales on Rick as a child and award-winning best-selling author. Rick also gives his life’s philosophy in many scenes. Find out about his mother’s poetry; hear his aunt tell of dressing him as a girl when he was a tot. If ever there was a priceless gift, this is it.
