Bob Strother Book Signing March 5, 2011

Greenville, SC, author Bob Strother will be signing copies of his new short-story collection, Scattered, Smothered, and Covered (Main Street Rag Press, paperback, $14.95), at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, March 5th, from 1-3 pm.

"Bob Strother serves up a heaping helping of Southern short stories in a collection which defies easy categories, with vampires, cheerleaders, debutantes, ghostly little girls, hitmen (and women), Ma Barker, a Marine gunnery sergeant with his own unique method of rehab, and a septuagenarian soviet sniper who takes the theft of her welfare check unkindly. Well-crafted, with sharply drawn characters, wry wit, and a touch of darkness, they breathe with life and a deep and obvious fondness for the South of his heritage...warts, chittlin's, and all." - David Weber, NY Times bestselling author

Bob Strother spent thirty years penning technical reports, issue papers and a melange of work-related documents before discovering his love for creative writing. Then, in 2004, during the return leg of a road trip to Flagstaff, his wife suggested he should preserve his oft-told tales of a delightfully wacky southern family and misspent youth. He joined the Greenville Chapter of the South Carolina Writers Workshop and has been consumed with his new passion ever since.

Bob's novel, Love Among the Greeks, was published in 2005. He's completed three others since which are as yet unpublished. His short stories have been published in more than two dozen literary journals and magazines, and his non-fiction work has appeared in various professional trade journals and other nationally published periodicals.

Bob and his wife life in Greenville, South Carolina. They have four grandchildren and love life and grandparents.
