Summer Reads: Viola Shipman/Wade Rouse

WADE ROUSE is the internationally bestselling author of nine books, which have been translated into nearly 20 languages. Wade chose his grandmother’s name, Viola Shipman, as a pen name to honor the woman whose heirlooms and family stories inspire his fiction. The latest Viola Shipman novel, Famous in a Small Town, is bursting with memorable characters and small-town lore about the family you’re born with, and the one you choose. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
