About this Event

Join Goldberry Books, Concord NC's indie bookstore, for an evening of conversation with two of North Carolina's favorite writers, Scott Fowler and Tommy Tomlinson! Both Scott and Tommy have new titles out, so we'll be discussing how those books came to be and what it's like to be a NC writer. Then both authors will read from their new work and answer audience questions before finishing out the evening with a signing.

Books will be available to purchase at the event, or you can certainly drop in at Goldberry Books anytime ahead of time.

This event will take place in the beautiful theater at the Cabarrus Arts Council and all ticket proceeds for this event will be donated to their programs.


About the Arts Council

The Cabarrus Arts Council was founded in 1980 in response to the North Carolina Arts Council's plan to establish a local arts council in every county. In 1982 the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners selected the arts council to serve as its Designated County Partner, receiving and distributing Grassroots funding from the state and the state arts council.

Today the arts council programs and operates the Davis Theatre and The Galleries, conducts one of North Carolina's largest art-in-education programs for both the Cabarrus County and Kannapolis City school systems, supports arts organizations and artists through grants and workshops and serves as a catalyst and consultant for public and corporate art.
