New York Times Best Selling Author Sharyn McCrumb

Tuesday, September 28, 2004

Milligan College welcomes New York Times best-selling author Sharyn McCrumb for a special lecture and book signing in Seeger Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7:30 p.m.

McCrumb is an award-winning author of 17 novels and a short story collection. Her latest novel, Ghost Riders, received the 2004 Audie Award for Best Multi-voiced Narration. Ghost Riders chronicles the Civil War in the southern mountains where neighbors became enemies, and families were torn apart.

Through her novels, McCrumb celebrates her ancestry and the history and folklore of Appalachia. Her work also traces the impact of music in the Appalachian region. For the Sept. 28 event, she will be joined by musician Jack Hinshelwood. Hinshelwood plays traditional Appalachian and Celtic tunes on the guitar and fiddle.

In addition to the evening program, McCrumb and Hinshelwood will also give a presentation for students from 11 a.m. to noon in Seeger Memorial Chapel. Both performances are sponsored by the Milligan College Arts Council and are free and open to the public.

For more information, please contact Dr. Kellie Brown, professor of music at Milligan College, at 423-461-8978 or kbrown@milligan.edu.
