May 10, 2012 - PRLog -- A South Carolina history buff, West has spent countless hours exploring the rich historical vestiges of her home state, and her love of the fascinating, complex, and compelling history of the South is expressed in her writing.  Readers become absorbed in the personalities, relationships, history, and culture of the South in The Cast Net as West takes them into the life of Mills Taylor, a New York advertising agent and artist who accepts a job as the director of an educational scholarship foundation in Alston Station, near Charleston, South Carolina. Taylor soon finds herself immersed in the lives, history, and mysteries of the people and place that she soon calls home.

West is a graduate of the University of South Carolina and has a background in aviation, as well as in real estate. A licensed pilot, she was one of the first pilots hired by United Parcel Service when they started their flight crew department.

West will be at the BQB Publishing booth at the SC Book Festival on May 19, 2012, to sign her book and interact with readers. To book Millie West for an appearance or book signing, contact Julie@bqbpublishing.com

About The Cast Net

When Mills Taylor, a talented New York advertising agent and artist, accepts a job as the director of an educational scholarship foundation in Alston Station, a town near Charleston, South Carolina, she never imagines that her new position will launch a year of living dangerously. Her boss, Cooper Heath, is as socially conscious as he is handsome, but he has a missing wife, and some people think that he made her disappear.

The Cast Net chronicles the year when Mills plunges into a socially unfamiliar world of southern money and power in the late 1980s. As she helps Cooper cope and seek the truth behind his wife’s disappearance, she learns the deeper meaning of “the cast net” and why it has been embraced by generations of Low Country residents. The Cast Net is a compelling and engaging novel about roots, a sense of community, trust, betrayal, redemption, and especially—love.
