Michael Dame
Mike, writing as part of The Dame Brothers, brings excitement and mystery for young readers with his Myrtle Beach Mystery Kids series.

Caleb Wygal
Caleb, award-winning author of the Myrtle Beach Mysteries, will also be on hand to discuss and sign his latest release, Death of a Legend.

With vivid coastal settings, gripping suspense, and Wygal’s signature storytelling, Death of a Legend is a must-read for mystery lovers.
In addition to Death of a Legend, Caleb will have all the books from his popular Myrtle Beach Mystery Series available, so readers can catch up on Clark Thomas’s earlier investigations. He’ll also have titles from his adventurous Lucas Caine series on hand—a thrilling collection of archaeological mysteries that fans of Indiana Jones and National Treasure won’t want to miss.
