I had a wonderful time at Katherine Clark's book signing tonight! It was an honor to meet you both! I cannot wait to read her book and your forward (before passing it to my mom for Christmas!). Thank you both for a great evening and my picture to remember it by! My mom was equally ecstatic watching her favorite author via FaceTime! Thank you again for making this night special for both of us! Love, the girl in the front with the phone

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you and the Mrs have a feast fit for Kings (and Conroys) planned! (See what I did there?)

Congratulations on your weight loss and fitness program. I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Park Road Bookstore in Charlotte NC just 2 years ago. I was thrilled to meet my favorite author and await your next book! Thank you for your wonderful work.

I have enjoyed every book Pat Conroy has written and look forward to the next brilliant novel. I was never an avid reader as a young person but became one fast the first time I picked up The Prince of Tides.

omg, I just finished The Lords of Discipline! I carried it like a newborn babe for several minutes. At 65 that's pretty amazing for me! My father,Paul Jones Zachary went to Georgia military in 1920s so I was researching. Ted Turner went there as well lol. This book was moving on so many levels. Many thanks for a beautiful read! Susan Burke P.s. Happy Birthday 60 is good, 70 should be better!

Thank you Pat Conroy for your gifted books. I just finished reading "My Losing Season". I have read South of Broad, Beach Music, Water is Wide, The Great Santini and Prince of Tides. My Father was also a Marine and I can associate with the constant uprooting of my childhood. Upon reading "My Losing
Season", I noticed in your commentary that you attended first grade in New Bern, NC. Could this have been the historical school in the center of New Bern that was once some kind of military barracks? (Two identical brick buildings.). I am six years younger than you.... And I had attended that school. What pleasure it would give me to know you were there, also. God Bless.

Even though I'm West Coast, I can relate to Conroy's descriptions of the Catholic Church, Catholic Education, basketball, racism, lunacy, and the like. I was a VISTA volunteer, close to Conroy's desire to teach the underprivileged ("The Water Is Wide"). I did not serve in South Carolina (there were no openings). They sent me a few miles north... to Anchorage, Alaska. I've read "The Water Is Wide", "South of Broad", and "The Great Santini". I'm on my way this summer to celebrate his 70th birthday by reading his works. I'm 64 and am grateful for his books. Let's hope the Santini cast will reprise their roles for "The Death of Santini".

I have read every book Pat Conroy has written except "The Boo" and the cookbook. Mr. Conroy is an amazing writer and inspires me to write. I would someday like to make a living as an author and be half as god as he is.

I have loved Pat Conroy's writing and books since I first read Prince of Tides. I am reading Beach Music for the 4th time this summer. Keep writing! You are my favorite author!

Thank you so much Mr. Pat Conroy. You have
truly opened up my world. I don't think its an
accident that my maiden name is Buford and
you write so much about Beauford, SC
