SUMMARY:Book Launch: Madeline Martin\, A Time of Witches

Since her mother’s death\, strange things have been happening: plants turn toward her touch\, animals linger in her path\, and the birthmark on her arm has started tingling. Her search for answers leads her from Savannah to England\, to Brackenmere Manor\, where the past blurs with the present and a dangerous legacy emerges. In 1645 Suffolk\, Sybil Brantham stands accused as a witch. An educated widow\, she is branded a threat and must protect her sister as suspicion closes in. Across centuries\, Lilith and Sybil are bound by blood and danger. To survive\, they must confront the silence that has stolen women’s power for generations. \nAbout Madeline Martin:\nMadeline Martin is the bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance\, with books translated into more than 25 languages. She lives in Florida with her husband (known as Mr. Awesome)\, their two daughters\, and two very spoiled cats.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Peabo Bryson
DESCRIPTION:The Rising South season will culminate in a benefit concert and fundraiser headlined by two-time Grammy Award winner Peabo Bryson\, whose legendary voice and artistry have inspired audiences for decades.\n\nMr. Bryson—recipient of Grammy Awards for “A Whole New World (Aladdin’s Theme)” and “Beauty and the Beast”—will perform a full concert in support of Rising South’s mission. \nPrior to Mr. Bryson’s performance\, local artists and student performers will take the stage\, including a signature musical presentation titled “From Hidden to Crowned\,” which depicts the journey from pain to purpose and triumph over violence. \nThrough this project\, Rising South Literacy School invites the entire community—students\, educators\, artists\, and families—to take part in building a culture of peace\, literacy\, and collective pride. \nABOUT RISING SOUTH LITERARY SCHOOL \nAlthough Rising South officially became a 501(c)(3) organization in late 2022\, and then paused after the loss of its founder\, our commitment to community service extends back more than two decades. Long before obtaining nonprofit status\, we operated as a grassroots volunteer collective\, organizing literacy drives\, mentoring youth\, hosting free arts workshops\, and leading community dialogues on gun violence\, domestic abuse\, and neighborhood revitalization.  \nIn February 2023\, we experienced the profound loss of one of our founding organizers\, Phillip Muhammad\, a retired police officer and passionate advocate for violence prevention who worked closely with residents most vulnerable to adverse outcomes.  \nHis dedication continues to inspire our mission\, and today Rising South carries forward his legacy by advancing initiatives that promote community safety\, education\, and healing. \nLEARN MORE\n\n\n  \nTickets: https://theorionhuntsville.com/events/?&currentpage=1&listview=0.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Katie Ortiz\, The Southern Sorority of Superstitious Witches
DESCRIPTION:Come meet Alabama author Katie Ortiz and dive into The Southern Sorority of Superstitious Witches\, a spellbinding Southern Gothic novel about three women who weave together old Southern folklore and magic to fight sexism and discrimination in post–Civil War Alabama. \nThe book signing will be at The Snail on the Wall from 10 am to noon.

The trial semester will determine whether or not women across the state will be allowed to attend other universities. When the men’s pranks go too far Lucille\, Catherine\, and Victoria form a coven under the guise of a sorority and call upon witchcraft steeped in the traditions of Southern folklore to fight back. For fans of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls and Weyward\, this historical speculative novel explores the darker side of human nature and the ways in which women navigate—and survive—oppressive\, male-dominated societies.
