C. Hope Clark is the author of the award-winning mystery series set on Edisto Beach. While the Edisto Island Mysteries can be found wherever books are sold, visitors and residents find it satisfying to visit The Edisto Bookstore to acquire their latest title. Hope signs at the bookstore several times a year, and her autographed copies often can be found on their shelves. Hope lives on Lake Murray, in the middle of the state, but is often found wandering the beaches and enterprises of Edisto Beach. She grew up in the Lowcountry, and has 50+ years experience on this beach. She can be seen online at www.chopeclark.com
