SUMMARY:Book Launch: Gin Phillips\, Ruby Falls
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to celebrate Alabama author Gin Phillips’s new book\, Ruby Falls\, a tense\, claustrophobic historical mystery set almost entirely underground at the onset of the Great Depression. \nTickets are $28 and include a copy of Ruby Falls. \nGet Tickets Here. \nAbout Ruby Falls:\nIn 1928\, a Chattanooga man disappears down a hole in the ground and discovers a waterfall in the middle of a mountain. Within months\, visitors can buy tickets to see the falls. Ada Smith has been sneaking into the caves at night\, entranced by the natural wonders. But it’s tough timing for a natural wonder. As the country flounders in the Great Depression\, a shrewd public relations ploy seems like the only way to save Ruby Falls. A famous mind reader and mystic agrees to launch himself into the Ruby Falls caverns where he will attempt to locate a hidden hatpin using his psychic abilities. He’ll be joined by five others: his manager\, his wife\, a guide\, a Chattanooga businessman\, and a reporter from the Chicago Times. But they’re not alone in the caverns. Ada and another guide have been asked to follow the mind reader’s party at a distance\, as a safety net. One of them will be dead before the end of the day. \nAbout Gin Phillips:\nGin Phillips is the author of seven novels\, and her work has been sold in 29 countries. Her debut novel\, The Well and the Mine\, won the 2009 Barnes & Noble Discover Award. Her novel Fierce Kingdom was named one of the best books of 2017 by Publishers Weekly and NPR. She currently lives in Birmingham with her family.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Seth Panitch\, Antique
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\nThe Snail on the Wall is excited to welcome playwright\, screenwriter\, filmmaker\, and University of Alabama professor\, Seth Panitch\, to celebrate his new book\, Antique\, an uplifting\, magical novel about ambition\, self-worth\, and the perilous allure of power\, following a fallen appraiser who must rediscover her true value beyond success\, love\, and enchantment. \nThe event will be held at The Snail on the Wall bookstore. \nTickets are $5\, with the full $5 going toward any book purchase at the event. Get Tickets Here. \nAbout Antique:Raised by an eminent but emotionally withdrawn scholar\, Grace Schaffer’s talent landed her a coveted spot on Antiques Roadshow\, but she’s recently fallen from her gilded perch\, losing her career\, her marriage\, and her very identity in the process. In a last-ditch attempt to revive her career\, she signs on to an amateur traveling show\, where an old\, tarnished necklace catches her eye and imbues her with a strange and sudden confidence. As Grace struggles to find her own worth outside the comfort of marriage\, the limelight of career\, and even the necklace’s awesome power\, she comes face to face with the hardest appraisal of all … herself. \nAbout Seth Panitch:Seth is a Professor of Theatre and directs the MFA Acting Program at the University of Alabama. Far more importantly\, he is married to Laura Earnest Pantich\, who does not seem to mind when he creeps upstairs to write\, or when he lets their dog Moses use him as a jungle gym. Seth is a proud member of the Authors Guild\, the Dramatists Guild of America\, the Society of Directors and Choreographers\, and the Illuminati—although he has steadfastly refused to have their name tattooed onto his chest.
