Romance novelist Carol Culver and the Kings Mountain Book Club invite the public to celebrate the release of her first two young adult novels, “Manderley Prep” and “Rich Girl,” plus the release of her latest romance, “Their Greek Island Reunion.”
The party will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13, at the Kings Mountain Community Center, 13889 Skyline Boulevard in Woodside. Greek appetizers and champagne will be served. Ms. Culver will give a short talk and sign copies of her books.
Ms. Culver has written more than 30 books since her first novel was published by Harlequin in 1989. She writes as Carol Grace, using her middle name. At that time, Harlequin required its authors to use pen names.
Originally from Chicago, Ms. Grace spent her junior year at the Sorbonne in Paris. She joined the hospital ship HOPE for three voyages (to Guinea, Nicaragua and Tunisia), working as a translator and in public relations.
Moving to San Francisco, she worked as a switchboard operator and receptionist for public television station KQED. Later, she and her husband, Craig, taught English in Algeria and Iran before settling in Kings Mountain 31 years ago.
