Book signing on Saturday

This is just a reminder that if you are in the Northwest Florida area and would like autographed copies of my books either for yourself or to give as a gifts this holiday season, I plan to attend only one book signing in December.

It will be this Saturday (December 1st) at Chipola River Book and Tea on Lafayette Street in downtown Marianna (right across the street from the Battle of Marianna monument).

They will have copies of The Battle of Marianna, Florida and The Battle of Natural Bridge, Florida on hand, as well as copies of my third book, Two Egg, Florida: A Collection of Ghost Stories, Legends and Unusual Facts.

The event gets underway at around 10 a.m. and will continue until either 2 p.m. or the books sell out. The Two Egg book has already sold out three times and it looks like it probably will again before Christmas, so if you would like a copy before then, this may be your best chance.

I'll be glad to do special inscriptions during that time and I hope to see you there. If you can't make it, all three books are in stock through http://www.amazon.com/ and http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ and there is still time for them to arrive by Christmas.

Book Signing scheduled for December 1st

If you would like to obtain autographed copies of my book Two Egg, Florida: A Collection of Ghost Stories, Legends and Unusual Facts, I will be at Chipola River Book and Tea for a book signing on Saturday, December 1st. They are located on Lafayette Street in downtown Marianna (in the same block as the Gazebo restaurant) and directly across the street from the Battle of Marianna monument.

The event begins at 10 a.m. and will continue until 2 p.m. or until the books sell out. Copies of my other books, The Battle of Marianna, Florida and The Battle of Natural Bridge, Florida will also be available.

If you would like to have copies specially inscribed as Christmas gifts, I'll be glad to do so.

The book includes, of course, a history of Two Egg, as well as the stories behind the stories of a number of other popular Northwest Florida legends. Included are:

• Two Egg, Florida
• The Ghost of Bellamy Bridge
• The Legend of Two Toed Tom (Northwest Florida's famed alligator monster)
• The Garden of Eden
• The Washington County Volcano
• The Fiddling Ghost of Boynton Island
• Jackson County's Pirate Treasure
• The Bible of St. Luke's Episcopal Church
• The Battle of Vernon
• The West Florida Swamp Booger (Bigfoot)
• The Story of Milly Francis
• Florida's Underground Wonderland
• Andrew Jackson and the Natural Bridge

Due to my health, this is the only signing I have scheduled for December. If you can't make it, but would like to have an autographed copy, they can be ordered at http://www.exploresouthernhistory.com/. As long as you order by December 15th, they will make it in time for Christmas. After the 15th, I can't promise.

Non-autographed copies are in stock and available for pre-Christmas delivery at http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ and http://www.target.com/.
