Many thanks to Eliot Parker for inviting me to appear as a featured author and read from Blood in West Virginia: Brumfield v. McCoy at the Writers Can Read Open Mic Night at Empire Books in Huntington, WV. I dedicated my reading to the feudists and their descendants. Paris Brumfield and Boney Lucas descendants were among the listeners–thrilling! I met some really great folks and enjoyed the event. 18 December 2017.
