The blog will be updated as the North Carolina Collection acquires new titles, and we welcome suggestions of books to add to our list. If you’ve published, written, or read any good North Carolina novels lately, we would love to hear about them.

My novel, HANNAH’S VOICE, was released this week by Evolved Publishing, and is set in a small North Carolina community. I lived in NC for several years, and still plan on returning. I’d love it if you’re able to include this book in your list.
Hello Mr. Grindstaff,
Thank you so much for your recommendation! We are always on the lookout for new fictional novels set in North Carolina, and your novel certainly looks like it would make a great addition to our collection. We hope you’re able to return to NC soon!
Hello,
As a collection and a blog dedicated to fictional novels set in North Carolina, I’m sorry to inform you that we only collect and post on those types of items. I couldn’t find any indication of a North Carolina setting on the book’s website, and as it is a picture book, we unfortunately wouldn’t be able to include it here. Thank you for your recommendation, and for reading!
Hi Elizabeth,
I wasn’t sure if the last comment was directed at me or not. But my book is fiction, a novel set in North Carolina, not a picture book. The blurb for the book reads: “A little girl’s silence rends a small North Carolina community. When her silence continues into her college years, the entire country divides over her message.”
I wasn’t sure if you might have accidentally looked at the wrong book (I don’t have any picture books), or perhaps your comment was in reply to someone else, not me, in which case I apologize for the my confusion.
Thanks!
Robb
Sorry, never mind. Now I see the post you were responding to. I swear it wasn’t there a minute ago. ha.
