Going to Texas

They painted “G.T.T.” on the doors of the old abandoned homesteads here in the Southeast, back in the 1830’s and 40’s. The farm was “wore out.” Gone To Texas!

I’m headed to Texas but I don’t plan to paint anything on my door. I’ll be signing copies of my novels.

On Tuesday, April 5, 4-6 p.m., I’ll be at Berkman Books in Fredericksburg, Texas. All you old Kingsville Brahmas headed there for class reunions – please stop in Berkman’s. It’s right down the street from the Inn. At least, say “Howdy.”

Saturday and Sunday mornings, April 9th and 10th, I’ll be at the Alamo Gift Shop and Museum in San Antonio. Just push the tourists out of the way and shake hands. I expect visits from all friends within a 100-mile radius of San Antonio.

And on the morning of Saturday, April 16, you can find me at The Twig Book Shop at 200 East Grayson Street, San Antonio. It’s in the Full Goods building – formerly the Pearl Brewery. There’s a farmer’s market there on that day, and I plan to show up early, around ten. Farmer's markets are always fun. (I'll bet you that this farmer's market will be different from the one in Comer, Georgia. But not better).

I’ll surely soak up some Hill Country and South Texas attitudes, visit with old friends and new, and work out some of the winter’s kinks.

Then it’s back to good old Georgia, where I’ll re-energize the Fresh Water Mussels and follow up our recent musical adventure at Bob’s Small Town Grille in Royston.

Stay tuned.

Any advice for me?

Dac we will miss you at Inkslingers, advice, enjoy yourself drink a margarita for me will ya. I've never been west of the Mississippi, well California but it doesn't count it's the same as saying Florida isn't southern.

it's not a cattle drive but I reckon the advice is the same.

Thanks, John. If I can make it that far, I'll surely look for the book store.

There's a nice little bookstore in Alpine where Elmer Kelton frequented.
