Buxton Books is excited to be the booksellers for the Daniel Island News Author Series. The Daniel Island News Author Series 2022 is a yearlong monthly series connecting readers with local South Carolina authors and stimulating discussions, questions, and insights on a variety of topics and genres. Join us as Cassandra King Conroy and Virginia Beach discuss their books, the why of their writing, and their love of the lowcountry.

ABOUT CASSANDRA KING CONROY:

Cassandra King Conroy is known for her great southern fiction and quirky characters, including the New York Time bestseller "The Sunday Wife" and "The Same Sweet Girls." Conroy will share stories from her poignant, intimate memoir “Tell Me a Story: My Life with Pat Conroy.” In the book, she looks back at her love affair and life with natural-born storyteller Pat Conroy and shares insight into his lust for life and passion for literature, food, and the Carolina Lowcountry that was his and her home.

ABOUT VIRGINIA BEACH:

Widely known across the lowcountry for her and her husband Dana Beach’s commitment to conservation, Virginia Beach’s new book, “American Landmark: Charles Duell and the Rebirth of Middleton Place,” addresses the historical significance of Middleton Place and the challenge to preserve its family and slave history, while also making it sustainable, relevant and accessible for future generations of all Americans. Virginia Christian Beach writes for numerous publications on the subjects of plantation history and the environment. Her previous books include “Medway” (a history of a Lowcountry rice plantation), “Rice & Ducks: The Surprising Convergence that Saved the Carolina Lowcountry”, and “A Wholly Admirable Thing: Defending Nature and Community on the South Carolina Coast,” written with her husband, Dana Beach.
