Who says lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice. One of my favourite authors, Eric Jerome Dickey, will be visiting Barbados a second time, this time to promote his new novel, Waking with Enemies. I've been reading his books since before he grew dreadlocks and I'm sure his new novel will be a hit.
Eric will be autographing his new book exclusively at Pages Bookstores all this week, and on Friday will be doing a special island tour for ten lucky fans. The idea is that he will then use his experiences here to write a novel featuring Barbados, its people and its culture.
Well it's about time folks realised we have tons of material for stories here in Bim. I would have preferred if a book by a native on contemporary Barbados blew up first, but hopefully the interest his future project will no doubt generate will open doors for writers like myself. I hope to attend one of the book signings tomorrow and take some pics, so watch out for more.
