I was a guest of the Tidewater Men's Book Club this past week. It was an interesting evening listening to what someone else thought about my book MURDER ON THE FRONT NINE, and how they read different things into what I was trying to say. It was a very enjoyable and enlightening evening. I look forward to more of them.
North Myrtle Beach is on the way to getting a new fishing pier at the end of Sea Mountain Highway. It would be the first new pier along the Grand Strand in 20 years and officials say it will help tourism. The new pier proposed by North Myrtle Beach businessman Frank Boulineau, would also have a four-story building that would likely house a restaurant.
