Gather 'round for a boisterous conversation between Matthew F. Jones, author of A Single Shot, and Brian Panowich, author of Nothing but the Bones, in celebration of Jones' newest release, A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow. PRAISE FOR A RECKONING UP CAT HOLLOW “A blistering tale of the human condition filtered through a rural lens and sealed with the kind of gut punch that only Jones can deliver. A novel both thought provoking and smart, yet brutally tense and paced faster than a bullet. For everyone that didn’t already know, Matthew F. Jones is the true heir apparent to the kingdom of Cormac McCarthy. Yeah, he’s that fucking good.” —Brian Panowich, author of Bull Mountain and Nothing But The Bones “A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow is as fast-paced and unrelenting as any thriller you will find, but what makes Jones’s book so compelling is its psychological, at times metaphysical, journey into one man’s tormented soul. Reading the novel is like entering a clear mountain stream. You take a few steps and suddenly plunge into depths you’d not imagined. Matt Jones is an immensely talented writer, and this harrowing novel deserves a wide and appreciative audience.” —Ron Rash, author of Serena and The World Made Straight ABOUT THE AUTHOR Matthew F. Jones is the author of six critically acclaimed novels and several screenplays. Three of his novels, A Single Shot, Deepwater and Boot Tracks have been made into major motion pictures. He has taught writing at a number of colleges and universities, including the University of Virginia, Randolph Macon College and Lynchburg College. He grew up on a horse and dairy farm in rural upstate New York and currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia. ABOUT THE BOOK In a split-second decision that will shatter his life, insurance salesman Jack Spinks stops to help a young woman walking alone down a back country road. After getting into his truck the mysterious young woman grabs the steering wheel and forces the truck off the road, sending it plunging over a cliff and into the woods. What begins as a simple act of kindness spirals into a nightmare as Jack finds himself trapped in a dark and perilous world, hunted by the woman’s cryptic pursuers. As he fights for survival, Jack’s journey uncovers a haunting connection to his own past—one that may hold the key to unraveling the mystery and escaping the deadly forces closing in on him. From the highly acclaimed author of A Single Shot, A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow is a pulse-pounding crime thriller that weaves together psychological suspense and a gripping mystery, where every step brings Jack closer to a truth he’s long buried—and forces him to confront who, or what, he can truly trust. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/augusta/author-talk-signing-with-matthew-f-jones/200029492327341 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 81 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://facebook.com/200029492327341?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=augusta-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Augusta - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: 978 Broad Street, Augusta, GA, United States, Georgia 30901 - **lat**: 33.47622 - **long**: -81.96948 - **full address**: 978 Broad Street, Augusta, GA, United States, Georgia 30901 ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: The Book Tavern (https://allevents.in/org/the-book-tavern/5224917) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/4ace023a839a3484169ed2c6f22dd37e2a8c08ef45afa914e91a96b0b8e81f69-rimg-w1200-h628-dc60615c-gmir?v=1772107011 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/aa0723d5bea7bc357ff00417bb33b52a78d47819ad453cd8527bace7f031b6c2-rimg-w300-h300-dc060602-gmir?v=1772107011 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 978 Broad Street, Augusta, GA, United States, Georgia 30901 - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** The Book Tavern - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Author Talk + Signing with Matthew F.
