AUTHOR LUNCHEONS

Throughout the month, Blue Bicycle Books and Halls Signature Events give readers the opportunity to break bread with three notable authors. The luncheons feature Holly Herrick on May 4 (her latest, The Charleston Chef’s Table Cookbook, was just released), as well as best-selling authors Dorthea Benton Frank on the 15th and Cinelle Barnes on the 31st, discussing their newly published novels By Invitation Only and Monsoon Mansion. The events include a sit-down meal and Q&As with the writers. Halls Signature Events, 5 Faber St. Days, times, & prices vary. (843)722-2666, www.bluebicyclebooks.com
