Association of Gravestone Studies Endorses New Book

It is nice to see this attention to my new “Churchyards of Charleston” book in the October 2022 newsletter of the Association for Gravestone Studies.

The Association for Gravestone Studies (AGS) is an international organization of people like me, taphophiles, who are into researching and appreciating all things cemeteries and graveyards. AGS’s goals are four pronged: interpretation, conservation, preservation, education. AGS has approximately 1,000 members, including yours truly. It is headquartered in Greenfiield, Mass. 

A new book order came in today from Pittsburgh, Pa. More sales to come hopefully! 

New Book Coverage from Area Media!

I am excited to see some media coverage of my new book, "Stories from the Underground: The Churchyards of Charleston." Such coverage is, of course, excellent publicity, and I am hopeful it will help attract people to my upcoming book signings. 

At SC State University where I teach communications courses I was interviewed for our BNN or Bulldog News Now program that aired Oct. 21.   Here's the report by Sydaija Smalls, one of our most talented students. Thanks also to my colleague Professor Justin Smith for the coverage. 

I just went to this week's Charleston City Paper online version and am thrilled to see myself right there on the "front page" and "above the fold" at that.
