This Savannah book launch kicks off the new year with cookbook author and gifted storyteller, Johnathon Scott Barrett. In his first novel, Ship Watch, as author Cassandra King (award-winning author of Tell Me a Story: My Life with Pat Conroy) says, “…Barrett mixes up a delightful brew of Southern eccentricities and serves it with a dash of romance, adventure and intrigue. Ship Watch is a colorful and rollicking good read!”

Johnathon Scott Barrett is a seventh-generation Georgian with a deep appreciation for the South’s literary and culinary traditions. He is the author of three acclaimed cookbooks, which critics hailed for their entertaining stories and extensive recipes. Barrett is a CPA and has worked as a nonprofit executive for the past three decades; he is the director of development for the State Botanical Garden of Georgia at UGA. He splits his time between two Georgia homes: Winterville and Savannah.
