Off the Press

Best-selling author John Jakes has a new historical novel that's sure to put Savannah back in the spotlight. The novel, "SAVANNAH (or) A Gift For Mr. Lincoln," is now on sale. The September/October issue of SAVANNAH Magazine features Mr. Jakes' perspectives: "HOW A CITY INSPIRED A NOVEL."

The New York Times Book Review says of Mr. Jakes, "He is quite simply, a master of the ancient art of storytelling."
Mr. Jakes and his wife, the former Rachel Ann Payne of Danville, Illinois, divide their time between homes in South Carolina and Florida. A link to contact Mr. Jakes.
