Local author Vivian McDarris will read from her recent book, Black Fog, at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27, at Blue Ridge Books in downtown Waynesville.

Of her writing, McDarris says, “stories have echoed through generations of my family; from grandfathers to great uncles, they all had a story to tell. Stories related to our family were the favorite ones shared.”

It was these stories that inspired her writing and desire to share those stories. Black Fog is a romantic time-travel novel and is the first of a series of four books which deal with the Clan of Darrock.
