Topsail Island, NC - Quartermoon Books and Gifts in Topsail Beach pulled out all the stops at this year’s A Moveable Feast of Authors.  To the delight of all the reader’s in attendance, this year’s luncheon included the following diverse range of authors:  Ann Ipock (Life is Short, So Read This Fast), Margaret Sartor (Miss American Pie), Mark De Castrique (Final Undertaking), Susan Whitfield (Just North of Luck), Virginia Boyd (One Fell Swoop), and Suzanne Adair (The Blacksmith’s Daughter).  This is just a sampling of the books that were available at the signing since many of the authors were multi-published in various genres.  But never fear, signed copies of the participating author’s books are still available at Quartermoon.  So drop in and find a great read for that afternoon on the beach or a rainy day on the porch—or maybe a gift for a friend.
