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.

If you are local to the Tri-State area, come and see us this Saturday! (We will be joined by over 25 regional authors.)

Earlier this week, I had the honor to present a piece of my region's history to a wonderful audience in West Virginia's oldest town: Shepherdstown. Here I stand at Shepherd University's Scarborough Library, just before my lecture regarding the Lincoln County Feud.
