Hallmark Movie Author Nancy Naigle to Visit Gretchen’s Hallmark in Chapel Hill

A Southern author with deep roots in the region, Naigle was born and raised in Virginia Beach and spent several years living in North Carolina’s Triad area before settling in Franklin, Virginia. She is known for her heartwarming small-town novels that celebrate faith, family and second chances.

Naigle has published more than 45 novels, with several adapted for television. Four of her books – “Christmas Joy,” “Hope at Christmas,” “Sand Dollar Cove” and “The Secret Ingredient” – have been made into Hallmark movies. The book of her heart, “The Shell Collector,” was the first FOX Original Movie and is streaming on FOX Nation.

During the event, Naigle will be sharing her latest Shell Collector Novel, “Home No Matter Where,” meet readers, sign books and share the inspiration behind the series, sparked by a true story of a message found inside a shell at just the right moment. The books are set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
