NAKED CAME THE LEAF PEEPER: Remember 1969's Naked Came the Stranger? No? How about Dave Barry's 1996 Naked Came the Manatee? (The manatee was named "Booger" of course.) Well, Brian Lee Knopp, best known (lately, anyway) for authoring Mayhem in Mayberry: Misadventures of a P.I. in Southern Appalachia, convinced twelve regional writers to collaborate on a murder mystery. Join all the authors at the Burnsville Town Center to celebrate the making of this mountain masterpiece. Featuring Brian Lee Knopp, John P. McAfee, Susan Reinhardt, Vicki Lane, Tommy Hays, Wayne Caldwell, Fred Chappell, Alan Gratz, Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, Gene Cheek, Linda Marie Barrett, and Tony Earley.
