Welcome to the lowcountry of South Carolina
A unique place steeped in history. A place that flew the flags of every colonial power in North America. A place to which West African farmers were dragged and enslaved..A place where the character of the country was formed. A place where those West African slaves created a home for themselves and became known as the Gullah/Geechie. A Place filled with hope, despair and above all...mystery.
The Sidney Lake series features a retired professor of Victorian Literature, Sidney Lake, and his Gullah housekeeper, Tillie James. The two live an ordinary, quiet existence along with Lake’s Labrador retriever—Mickey, until Tillie becomes upset about something that has happened to an acquaintance in the fictitious lowcountry college town of Morgan, SC. Morgan sits on the lowcountry coast between Edisto and Beaufort. The action stretches from Charleston to Savannah.
