Matt Shea Writes of Courage and Strength in “The King of Coalman's Hill”
Caretaker Clayton Graves fights for his loved ones and community in Matt Shea’s new novel, The King of Coalman’s Hill. Clayton’s priorities consist of bringing food to the hungry, warmth to the cold and helpless, and caring for his beloved granddaughter, Elizabeth. Once tragedy strikes the legendary mountain man, his strength is tested as he struggles to ensure a bright future for Elizabeth and his dear friends in the mountain community.
The King of Coalman's Hill is a moving story filled with old-fashioned values, childhood nostalgia, and the challenges we all face in life. Focusing on the importance of love and family, the novel’s message resonates long after the final words are read.
The King of Coalman's Hill is the eighth book written by Matt Shea. He is greatly inspired by the writings of Andy Griffith and focuses on the common folk that comprise small towns. Matt credits the success of his first book, The Groundskeeper and Other Short Stories, to his family.

“From The Far Places” Explores Dramatic South Carolina History
South Carolina history and human drama combine in From the Far Places, the new novel by Dorothy K. Morris.
From the wilds of the Occaneechi Warriors' Path in the Carolina Piedmont, a lonely Monastery in far Northumbria, and a mansion in The Strand of London, a middle-aged man seeks his lost youth, a boy and girl help him find it, and a beautiful red stallion brings them all together. The combination of characters form a melting pot of cultures, class, languages, religions and personalities. In the historic South Carolina explored in this riveting novel, some of these differences blended while others created problems that could never be overcome.
From The Far Places is the seventh novel in the Mockingbird Series by Dorothy K. Morris. She was born in Charleston, South Carolina, a city her ancestors helped establish. She grew up struggling with the pain that still lingered from the residue of slavery and the Civil War. Morris enjoys genealogy due to her extensive family history and is a member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Who’s Who in America, and Who’s Who of American Women.
From The Far Places is available in softcover (ISBN 987-1-62137-751-1) and eBook (ISBN 978-1-62137-752-8) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com.

"Divinely Silly Coloring Book" Consistent With Current Trend
If you believe coloring books are only for children, then you are quite mistaken. In fact, 2015 has been declared by many as the year of the adult coloring book. The trend gained momentum after British artist Johanna Basford published her coloring book “Secret Garden” in 2013. In recent months, her books along with many others have shot to the top of best-seller lists.
Why has this trend grown so much lately? Many cite coloring as an amazing stress reliever. Looking back at history, psychiatrist Carl Jung was noted to prescribe coloring to his patients to calm and center their minds. As a creative activity that requires focus, it’s easy to see how coloring can ease the mind. Similar to crossword puzzles, coloring is an activity that allows us to forget outside stressors in a moment of peace.
More than just therapy, coloring has recently turned into a social activity. Businesses such as ‘Painting with a Twist’ and ‘Pinot’s Palette’ have skyrocketed in recent years creating an environment for social coloring (or painting). Even bookstores such as Barnes & Noble have put together events for adults to meet up and color together. Since when do kids get to have all the fun?
Adding to the trend, Virtualbookworm has recently published the "Divinely Silly Coloring Book: For People of All Shapes and Sizes" by Radisha. The 126-page coloring book is uniquely designed for adults (although kids will love it as well). To experience what this trend is all about, you can purchase the book for $12.95 for our website. Remember, coloring books aren’t just for kids; they’re for the inner kid in all of us.
