Save the date and drop-in to meet author Terry Roberts, purchase a copy of his latest book, and have it personally signed!With his customary verve and insight, Terry Roberts' latest novel, In the Fullness of Time, is an evocative portrait of humankind's capacity for courage, love, and hope as well as folly, as reluctant sheriff Clinton Salter works to unravel the mystery of a string of arsons, grave robberies, and murders plaguing Madison County, all while navigating difficult family relationships and the hope of second love.
Terry Roberts is the author of seven celebrated novels: A Short Time to Stay Here (winner of the Willie Morris Prize for Southern Fiction and the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction); That Bright Land (winner of the Thomas Wolfe Literary Award, the James Still Award for Writing About the Appalachian South and the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction); The Holy Ghost Speakeasy and Revival (Finalist for the 2019 Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction); My Mistress’ Eyes are Raven Black (Finalist for the 2022 Best Paperback Original Novel by the International Thriller Writers Organization); and most recently, The Sky Club (Finalist for the 2023 Thomas Wolfe Literary Award), The Devil Hath a Pleasing Shape, and coming in August of 2025, In the Fullness of Time.
Roberts is a lifelong teacher and educational reformer as well as an award-winning novelist. He is a native of the mountains of Western North Carolina—born and bred. His ancestors include six generations of mountain farmers, as well as the bootleggers and preachers who appear in his novels. He was raised close by his grandmother, Belva Anderson Roberts, who was born in 1888 and passed to him the magic of the past along with the grit and humor of mountain story telling. He is the Director of the National Paideia Center and lives in Asheville, North Carolina with his wife, Lynn.
This drop-in event is FREE and open to the public.
