Blacksburg Books presents Author Chris McGinley in Conversation with Brett Lovell on Saturday, February 3, 2024.
Join us and two great Appalachian authors will talk about writing, history, and anything else you'd like to hear about.
Chris McGinley is the author of "Once These Hills". It’s 1898. Up on Black Boar Mountain in eastern Kentucky, life is quiet for the small settlement of farmers who work the land around their cabins. But when 10-year-old Lydia King unearths an ancient, preserved body on the seep bog, a curse is let loose. At least that’s what some people believe.
Down in the valley, the railroad uses convict labor to lay track, hell-bent on timbering all of the hillside. Problem is, a trio of violent prisoners feel the work ain’t exactly to their liking. Behind their ring leader Burr Hollis, a predatory, sadistic man whose name inspires fear among the hardest of criminals, they take to the hills and leave a wake of their own. In the years following, Lydia falls in love and marries a mountain boy, but when Burr Hollis returns for a reckoning with her, she’ll need all of her huntress skills just to stay alive.
Brett Lovell is the author of "A Bad and Dangerous Man".
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
