Release of Agnes Hopper Shakes Up Sweetbriar

RALEIGH, N.C. - Jan. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas and Carol Guthrie Heilman announce the release of Agnes Hopper Shakes Up Sweetbriar on January 22, 2015.  The novel, a first for Heilman, was inspired by her mother’s spunky spirit and her father’s gentle humor.

Years ago Carol began writing her family’s stories for newspapers and magazines. One day her mother said, “We don’t have any secrets any more!” Carol continued to write her stories. Before long she was delighted to discover the world of writing fiction and incorporated some of her parent’s experiences into her fictional characters.

After volunteering in assisted-living homes, and helping her parents through aging issues as their caretaker, Heilman was inspired to share Agnes Hopper Shakes Up Sweetbriar. She would like to show the public the vitality and importance of our aging seniors.

Judy Dearing, author of Chrissy’s Moments, says of Heilman’s novel, “Written with a southern flair, Agnes Hopper Shakes Up Sweetbriar, is a captivating story about eccentric and irresistible characters who weave their lives together. Set in a small-town retirement home this book is filled with laughter, suspense, and wisdom. You will find yourself curled up with this page-turner, unable to put it down!”

Agnes Hopper Shakes Up Sweetbriar can be found at www.Amazon.com, at www.BarnesandNoble.com and is available to bookstores through the Ingram system. For more information about Heilman, visit her website at www.carolheilman.com or follow her on Twitter @CarolHeilman.
