Local author Pam Webber discusses her latest novel, Moon Water, with Royal Examiner publisher Mike Mccool.

Pam Webber, local Winchester author will be at the Royal Oak Bookshop located at 207 S. Royal Avenue in Front Royal starting at 11 am on Saturday, September 14th.

Her first novel, The Wiregrass, is reminiscent of the stories and styles of Harper Lee, Sue Monk Kidd, and Jan Karon. The Wiregrass  is an extraordinary tale about a magical time in an ordinary place full of lovable and unlovable characters. Infused with laughter, tears, love, loss, and hope, the story follows fourteen-year-old cousins Nettie, J.D. Eric, and Sam as they navigate the summer of their discontent, struggle with the physical and emotional turbulence of puberty and disappearing childhood, feel the excitement of first love, and run for their lives after they uncover an evil secret hidden in the shadows of the small town they love. Their story promises to stay with you a lifetime.

Her latest novel Moon Water  is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the summer of 1969, Moon Water finds Nettie, 16, with her boyfriend wanting to breakup just as they are figuring out the sex thing. Nettie’s lifelong nemesis is jabbing her with perfectly polished nails, while her hellfire and brimstone preacher refuses to baptize her. Amid this turmoil, a Monacan Indian medicine woman gives her a cryptic message about a coming darkness, a blood moon whose veiled danger threatens Nettie and those she loves. To prepare for the darkness, Nettie and her best friend, Win, make a treacherous journey into the mountains to build a mysterious dreamcatcher of ancient elements.
