About Book Your Lunch
Book Your Lunch is a new way to bring authors and readers together -- right here in Greenville. This luncheon series provides the ultimate food for thought with a wide range of authors -- from mystery writers, to award-winning regional novelists to nonfiction and cookbook authors.
The $25 luncheon tickets must be purchased in advance. The featured author will read from their work (or give a 20-minute talk), followed by a Q&A session, a delicious lunch provided by Table 301, and then an onsite book-signing session with the author.
Books may be purchased from Fiction Addiction in advance or during the event. Space is limited, so purchase your tickets today!

Mystery author Patricia Sprinkle gives her readers a change of pace with her newest book, Hold Up the Sky, the story of four women who come together to live on a drought-stricken Georgia farm.
About the author:
Patricia Sprinkle was born in West Virginia, but grew up in North Carolina and Florida. She decided in 9th grade that she wanted to be a writer. She attended Vassar College, which had a great creative writing program. After graduation she tested her writing commitment by heading to a Scottish Highland village with only $750, one suitcase, two coats and a portable typewriter. Before the money ran out, she had sold one poem, one article, one short story, and a one-act play. She then moved to Atlanta and started a series of writing-related jobs.
When Patricia married her husband Bob, he looked over their budget and demanded, “Why don’t you write a mystery to pay for all the ones you buy?” It took 13 years, but since her first mystery, Murder at Markham, was published in 1988, Patricia has written twenty mysteries, five non-fiction books, and several novels.
Patricia’s husband is still her encourager and faithful patron of the arts. During their thirty-nine years together they have lived in Atlanta (four times), Chicago (twice), St. Petersburg (twice), Mobile, and Miami. Along the way they had two sons.
