Maggie Carter-de Vries was born in Charleston, South Carolina, but specializes in the darker side of Amelia Island in her new book, Ghosts of Amelia and Other Tales.

Fernandina Beach is world famous for white sandy beaches, our silk stocking historic district, the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, the Jazz Festival and more. But, have you ever given thought to the old cobblestone streets of yesteryear located under the modern pavement of our tree lined tourist town? Well, Maggie has heard the stories those old stones have seen, and relays these tales in her book, as they have been told to her. In Ghosts of Amelia and Other tales she shares these stories with you of the generations of people who have died before their time or met with unnatural deaths.

Maggie will be available at the Fernandina Beach Library on 25 N. 4th Street in Fernandina Beach for GHOSTLY READINGS and a BOOK SIGNING on Amelia Island on Thursday, October 22 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, come on by for this spooky event.
