October 06, 2011 - Famed Science Fiction Author, Alex Bledsoe presents "A Study of Music in 'The Hum and the Shiver'


Hum and Shiver

Science Fiction and Fantasy Author, Alex Bledsoe to discuss his latest fantasy novel and the hauntingly beautiful music within,

The Hum and the Shiver.

Bledsoe will be at Mount Horeb Public Library to discuss and sign copies his current series, The Hum and the Shiver.

Alex Bledsoe's new book, The Hum and the Shiver, is the first installment in his new series that expertly blends fantasy and the local folklore of Tennessee's Smoky Mountains.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The Hum and The Shiver is set in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, where the author himself was raised. The Hum and the Shiver spins a fascinating tale, combining mythology with American folklore in the dark valleys and hollows of the Smoky Mountains-where songs live...and kill.

When the first Europeans came to the Smoky Mountains, the Tufa were already there, quietly living in the hills and valleys of Cloud County, their origins lost to history. But there are clues hidden in the songs they have passed down for generations. The Hum and The Shiver tells the tale of Private Bronwyn Hyatt, a true Tufa and soldier returning home from war. The book follows her struggles to join in the song of her people and let it lift her onto the night winds and soar beyond her haunted homeland.
