In this episode 237, we visit with Paul Attaway, author of “Blood in the Lowcountry,” a thriller in which the idyllic life of one man is forever changed after a shocking and brutal murder.

Monty Atkins has a wonderful life, with his beautiful wife, successful business, and the Southern tranquility of living in 1970’s Charleston, South Carolina. With shocking betrayals, murder, bigotry, and a conspiracy of lies, Monty races to save everything that is important to him.

Jeff Andrews, author of “The Freedom Star” and “The Gandy Dancer” had this to say about the book, “Paul Attaway’s riveting debut novel introduces readers to the genteel South of the mid-twentieth century and then rips off that façade to reveal a treacherous underbelly of greed, deceit, violence, and bigotry. Attaway’s gripping tale unfolds through richly drawn characters that will engage readers and keep them enthralled through one suspenseful chapter after another. This is a story that will stay with you long after you close the final page.”

About the Author:

Paul was born and raised in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Paul and his wife, Lyn, met in college at Georgetown University and were married after Paul graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law. They moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1988 where Paul embarked on a thirty-year business career before retiring so he could write fiction. Paul and Lyn raised three children together in Phoenix and now split their time between Phoenix and Charleston, South Carolina.

Blood in the Low Country is Paul Attaway’s debut novel. Writing this book, along with the move to Charleston, is a coming home of sorts, a return to the South. The history and culture of America’s South is rich, complicated, at times comical, sad, tragic, uplifting, and inspiring. Paul hopes that his novels capture even a small bit of this tapestry.
