If you have a dynamic, independent bookstore in you community, you will never be at a loss for things to do. Last night, D.M. Pulley spoke at Scuppernong Books on Elm Street downtown. Primarily, she was in house discussing her latest novel, No One's Home; however, she gave a fantastic presentation balancing what led her to the mystery/thriller genre, how the genre is typically constructed, and the plots of each of her books.
Pulley spoke of how her training to become a structural engineer scaffolded her understanding of how buildings have secrets and that you can dissect them, not unlike how doctors perform autopsies. She mentioned that analyzing old layers of paint may reveal spattered blood- evidence of a crime, evidence of fire damage, and other interesting facts about the building. It is so wonderful that we have these events, free and open to the public.
Stop by Scuppernong books tonight when Holly George-Warren, a North Carolina native, discusses her biography about Janis Joplin at 7:00 pm. Live music will be provided. Hope to see you there!
A wonderful shot of her.
