Stories exist around every bend

harbert-ames2-2016I love storytelling about West Tennessee history. You’ll find me just about anywhere enjoying myself as I speak to church groups, at Parkers Crossroads and at Ames Plantation. If you have a group that is interested in having me share tales of our history, just let me know. Message me on Facebook or email me here!

I’m hard at work on my next book: “Echoes & Footprints” coming out in 2017. There is always another story around the bend in the road. I can’t seem to stop writing — not that I’d want to anyway. No telling what I’ll find next that is an intriguing piece of history to share with you.harbert-ames1-2016

Book signing set for Dec. 19 at Old Country Store

Nothing goes better with ice cream at the Casey Jones Old Country Store Ice Cream Parlor in Jackson, Tennessee than a good story, too! I’ll sign and sell my book, “Soldiers, Saints & Sinners: Stories of Long Ago” fChristmas1945SoldiersSaintsSinners-LRrom 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19, surrounded by all those treats. Fudge, ice cream, cookies. Take “Soldiers, Saints & Sinners” home for a Christmas gift! One of my stories is about Christmas 1945, when the soldiers came home from the war, and in Jackson, Christmas was Christmas again! One of my favorite book images is of Allison East’s illustration of Santa Claus 1945.

My books are available also at Marilyn Jackson’s Gifts in Jackson, and online at amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million. You can also contact me through my website or message me on my Facebook page.

Thank you for enjoying my stories!
