Michael Malone will present a special reading from his book on March 24, 2-4 pm, at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts.

In the twelve short stories of “Red Clay, Blue Cadillac,” Michael Malone brings to life a series of unforgettable women who are as colorful as the southern landscapes they inhabit. The member artists of the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts depict their stories of survival, emancipation, betrayal, love, and longing through visual imagery in paintings, photography, metal, fiber, glass, and wood. It is a show for all those who appreciate Southern-themed arts of the written word and the visual world.
