The Madison Picker is a witty and heartwarming semi-autobiographical novel based on the author's own day-to-day experiences as an antiques dealer and collector over four decades. The book's characters are Charles and Emma Dawes. Emma is a Peruvian beauty and certified interpreter. The two met on Match. Other than Charles having more hair than the author, most of the facts are real-world and the anecdotes are not exaggerated. The two live in Barboursville, Virginia and travel far and wide to search for anything that they can buy low to sell high. In this first title in the Picker Series they travel to Culpeper, Charlottesville, Lexington, Woodstock, Edinburg, Harrisonburg, Brownsburg, and then they jet down to Key West with their two pals where Emma goes shopping while Charles pursues bonefish. They drive back picking antiques along the way. Picker reads more like a travelogue than a novel; there's NO plot and NO climax. If you like Public Television's Antiques Roadshow, you'll probably find a thing or two that you like about The Madison Picker. Library of Congress Control Number: 2014902355.

Mark Clay Grove is a second generation antiques dealer with four decades of experience in the trenches. Over the years he has owned and operated a large antiques shop and an antiques mall, traveled from New York City to Nashville selling his wares at antiques shows, sold stuff on eBay, and taught appraisal report-writing for NYU. Still, he maintains a practice as an accredited appraiser as he writes fiction for the fun of it and appears regularly on the PBS TV show, The Chesapeake Collectibles. Always an avid reader, restless writer, and a kind gentleman with dual nationality (US/UK), he strives for perfection and insists on living by a code of honor that values integrity, fidelity, and fairness for all. Mark divides his time between homes in Fairfax and Charlottesville, Virginia, with his Peruvian wife, Chany. They travel extensively for business and pleasure. His professional website is mgrove dot-com. Polite emails are answered as soon as possible.
