Award-Winning Author Visits Raleigh-Durham

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 4, 2012 - Durham, North Carolina, USA - 3 August 2012 - T.C. McCarthy, critically acclaimed and award winning author of the sci-fi thrillers GERMLINE, EXOGENE and CHIMERA, will appear at Flyleaf Books in the Raleigh Durham area on Sunday, August 5th. McCarthy will read from his third book, CHIMERA, starting at 2 pm. He can also be heard on the regionally syndicated radio show "The State of Things," via recorded podcast at the WUNC website.

Publishers Weekly gives CHIMERA a starred review and calls it "impressively deep and profoundly moving... breathtaking and heartrending, this is the future of military science fiction." Tzer Island Book Blog says "McCarthy is a master of characterization.  His readers will not be disappointed by his newest creation...as always, McCarthy's combat imagery is vivid, battle scenes are tense, and the combatants’ fear is palpable.  Throughout the novel, McCarthy’s prose is electrically charged."

In addition to his novels, T.C. McCarthy's short fiction has appeared in both literary and genre magazines, including Per Contra, Story Quarterly, and Nature, and in 2012 he won the Compton Crook award for his debut novel, GERMLINE. His books are available at all major retailers, worldwide.
