Tantalizing tales of the Carolina coast

Summary: "This book consists of 30 short stories on the very entertaining characters and traditions of coastal South Carolina. All the copy is based on real people and places, and was largely derived from experiences I had as an award-winning television host doing human interest stories that appealed to a very diverse audience. Chapters include legendary aspects of coast culture, such as the influence of Gullah heritage on language and arts, as well as hilarious characters, such as the man who built a full-sized UFO greeting center and the woman who made a cottage industry out of hair hats. There are insider details on the colorfully unique aspects of historic Charleston, as well as the background of fascinating natural sea and landscapes, iconic landmarks, and the one-of-a-kind practices and folklore that make the South Carolina coast so beguiling. The writing style is meant to delight readers with the sense of our coast?s special nature, that can be touching and thought-provoking, as well as humorous.--
