DEBUT NOVEL BY UPSTATE GEORGIA AUTHOR WINS ACCOLADES

         Cleveland, Ga., author Lindsey Brackett's debut novel, Still Waters, set on the picturesque island of Edisto Beach, Georgia, is a tale of loss and the need for forgiveness, tempered with conflict with the man she loves.

         Scheduled for release September 8, Still Waters is published by Firefly Southern Fiction, an imprint of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas.  A "Four Star" Romantic Times review called the novel, "a brilliant debut," with "exquisite writing and multi-faceted themes."  Southern Writers Magazine has included Ms. Brackett's work in their short fiction contest.

         Still Waters tells the story of Cora Anne Hathaway, an aspiring historian with a need for avoiding her own tragic past.  When her graduate program falls through, her grandmother insists that she stay with her, and return to Still Waters, the family cottage on Edisto Beach.  On this picturesque island, Cora is forced to come to grips with her haunting loss, and wrestles with the need to forgive herself for a tragic mistake.  But the man she loves is determined to preserve a past she would banish from memory.

Best known for her popular columns in The Northeast Georgian and the Elberton Star, Ms. Brackett is also a blogger and teacher for writer's conferences and home school programs.  Raised in Elbert County, she now lives in Cleveland, GA., and is the mother of four children.
