CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV)-- Maryann McFadden
appeared on Lowcountry Live to promote her new book, "The Book Lover."
"It is a little bit
of my story," McFadden said. "'The Book Lover' is actually a very real look at
the world of books."
McFadden's own
journey began as a self-published author and came to fruition upon landing a
major book deal. McFadden credited independent bookstores for championing her
work.
"The Book Lover"
chronicles the plight of a struggling bookseller who discovers an unknown
author. Their lives weave together.
"They inspire each
other against the odds to follow their dreams," McFadden
explained.
McFadden said that
she aimed to give readers a peek into a world that is often romanticized. She
described it as "the magical, often perilous journey a book takes from the
moment it begins in a writer's mind until it makes its way onto a bookstore's
shelf and into a reader's hands."
McFadden will be
signing copies of "The Book Lover" on Wednesday, June 20 at 7pm at Barnes and
Noble at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre.
