Went to a reading of Tom Franklin's CROOKED LETTER, CROOKED LETTER last weekend in Fayetteville. Great reading hosted by the nice folks at Nightbird Books. I've been reading Tom's POACHERS and HELL AT THE BREECH. He's gonna be a writer to be reckoned with, I'm thinking.
Ended up at a faculty member's house with wood paneling and a well stocked bar. This is what happened.
The squatty guys are the big named authors, Scott Phillips and Tom Franklin. The tall one is the dashing Jedidiah Ayres (he doesn't know who you are either), and the gorgeous cornfed one is moi.
Franklin's one of my faves. Give Smonk a try, John. I think you'll really dig it.
ReplyDeleteHey, and he's from down Alabama-way, too.
ReplyDeleteGONNA be a writer to be reckoned with? Them's fighting words, JHJ.....if you hadn't already fought me anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou already are a writer to be reckoned with, Scott. It goes without saying.
