We had a fabulous day today at the Local Author Day sponsored by The Book Lady Bookstore and the Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home in honor of Flannery's 100th birthday!
We got there early and my table was the first to be completely set up, with my sales assistants from Greg Steele's robot art and the lead salesman, Erasmus the Reading Dragon.
We enjoyed the dogs, the kids, the other authors, the Panhandle Slim exhibit, the music, and especially the closing parade! Go to my Facebook page to see a video of part of the parade.
I was particularly pleased to make a donation and get a large signed Panhandle Slim painting with a favorite William S. Burroughs quote.
It was a wonderful event. A big shout out to Joni of the Book Lady and the Childhood Home.
Got to meet and talk to poets Rosemary Daniell and Don Corelli and visit with many old friends.
I was particularly glad to see old friends Lu Fang and Ed Eckstrand.
Met and discussed poetry with several new people whom I hope to meet again, especially Malcolm. Aberjhani, and Matthew.
