After a wild night of storms in Nashville, this room was still full on Thursday at noon when I spoke to the Centennial Club ladies about Prodigal. Such an honor to be invited! What a thrill to sign the guest book along with signatures from many years past – Robert Frost and Amelia Earhart to name a few!
Parnassus came to the Centennial Club and sold books. These that are left went back to Parnassus.
If you’re thinking of reading Prodigal, please buy it from Parnassus!
I LOVE meeting with book clubs, and these readers are the best! Thank you for inviting me to your discussion of PRODIGAL!
I had a great time talking with Dave on Living the Next Chapter. Check out the podcast!
The Wayne County Museum is one of Waynesboro’s best-kept little secrets! I was happy to be invited there on December 7, the day of the annual Christmas parade, billed as a “Small Town Christmas.” Vendors set up booths and tents on the square – all very festive – and inside the museum, I talked about my new book, Prodigal. The novel is about a young man trying to come home to the small town he left ten years earlier, and face his past. Thanks to all who came buy to visit and buy books!

Thanks to Well Read Magazine for including “Wilma” in the June issue. This is a family story that has lived in my mind for a long time, and only recently did I know what I wanted to say about it. You can check it out here:
