Reading in G-Vegas
When I was down in North Carolina last week I had the great privilege of doing a reading/signing with Georgia Beers and D. Jackson Leigh in Greenville. Georgia and I are old friends, and D. Jack and I are new friends
Cate Culpepper instructed me to greet Jackson by kissing her on the hand, and when Cate tells me to do something, I usually do.
We had a great venue in the Tipsy Teapot which is a cafe/bar/used book store. We had the bar part all to ourselves and got a nice crowd filled with a lot of friends. There was a little stage up front that we made our own.
Georgia read a new short piece entitled “Insignificant” that was just fantastic .
D. Jackson read a great scene from Brokeback , and let me tell you, she’s got an awesome reading voice.
I read a scene from Trails Merge that I hadn’t read aloud before but seemed to go over pretty well.
Then we answered questions from the audience as well as from each other. This was a wonderful event. We all had a great time, and it seemed like we did more than our fair share of laughing.
