I first met Patti Callahan Henry at a SIBA (Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance) Trade Show in Daytona Beach, FL in 2010. I represented one of her publishers and we had a magical dinner together at a local Italian restaurant. Since then we occasionally bump into each other at various functions and it's always a delight to see her. Six years ago, in this blog, I highlighted her career and newest book at the time, The Idea of Love.
This is where I found out that if she could go back in time, she would want to have a few glasses of wine with Aristotle! Click here: to read the post.
Patti's next book, Surviving Savannah , will be published by Berkley and releases in March.
It sounds sooooo good and is described this way. "It was called “The Titanic of the South.” The luxury steamship sank in 1838 with Savannah’s elite on board; through time, their fates were forgotten–until the wreck was found, and now their story is finally being told in this breathtaking novel.
As you know, one of the most popular posts I do on authors is to showcase their homes. So, since Patti is in between writing her next international best seller, I thought it would be nice for you all to see where she hangs out.
Patti's gorgeous home in Mountain Brook.
Thank you Patti, not only for sharing your beautiful home with us, but also for all the wonderful stories you have told and fascinating people you have brought to our hearts and eyes.

I live in Asheville, NC with my brilliant, kind and amazingly beautiful wife, Linda-Marie Barrett, Executive Director of SIBA, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance. I have been a Publishers Representative and bookstore owner and manager for most of my adult life. I was born in the small village of Kintbury in England. I am vegetarian and secular humanist in belief. If I could go back in time it would be to the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt to have a conversation with the pharaoh Hatshepsut. Blog SUBSCRIBE
