Mary Alice Monroe and Rudy Mancke: The Treasure of South Carolina's Coastal Plain

Best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe and Rudy Mancke, naturalist, teacher, host of NatureNotes and SCETV's NatureScene, share a deep love of the Lowcountry of South Carolina. They join Walter Edgar to talk about the unique, priceless treasure that is South Carolina's Coastal Plain. 

Monroe will also talk about her new novel, to be released on June 20, 2017, Beach House For Rent  (2017, Gallery Books). Beach House For Rent is written as a stand-alone novel. It also serves as the final installment of Monroe’s successful Beach House Series, which began with The Beach House, a novel first released in 2002. The Beach House is now being adapted to a Hallmark Channel original movie, starring three-time golden globe nominee Andie MacDowell, who is also an executive producer of the movie. The Hallmark Channel plans to air “The Beach House” in July.
