Nat Roers is best known in South Carolina circles as the former morning anchor at WLTX TV-19 (CBS – Columbia, S.C.). Like a lot of on-air talent, she’s looking to make a name for herself beyond small town news, though.
Of course this Annapolis, Maryland native is interested in doing more than just reading teleprompters for a living …
She’s off to a good start. Roers – who our founding editor has always found disarmingly attractive – is an up-and-coming author with a young adult fiction hit on her hands. Roers’ debut novel – Lucid – is blowing up online, and her second novel is already in the works.
Lucid tells the story of “a small town teen-aged, misfit” named Travis Hunter.
“Disfigured at birth and ostracized at school, Travis dreams of acceptance and secretly yearns for the affection of a beautiful young woman named Corrine,” the book’s promo reads. “When a mysterious doctor promises to help Travis through something called lucid dreaming, Travis suddenly finds himself ushered into a secret society called ‘The Lucid,’ a collection of social outcasts like himself who have created their own world inside of dreams.”
Roers’ e-book debuted earlier this month in the Amazon Top 100 – “a huge honor” she told us. The paperback edition will be available in July.

Props to Roers on her success and we wish her nothing but the best moving forward …

If she were average looking I bet this wouldn’t be a story.
Come on, she’s not that bad looking.

Totally insertable.

This will be a movie. I can’t imagine how life was for her with Curtis Wilson getting top billing. You could see it on the set; Wilson was not anchor material, made everyone uncomfortable…neither is JR and Darci anchor material. I remember how cold Darci was when they hired Andrea. Really, Darci did not open to her till Andrea’s hubby got in trouble, then Darci felt empowered. Sick….even Jim is hanging on too long. What is it with local TV newscasts? Nothing on there worth watching except their ego trips. I stopped watching and clicking WLTX along time ago. Kinda go for Ben’s weather forecasts these days. He was locked in with Kara until Horne butted her way back in after she left. Dawndy and Ben are class acts. Really did not like the way Gatson kicked and screamed either when Stanton and Susan left. Good for you Nat…a class act along with Dawndy and Ben. Woolfolk was good, too.
