New Orleans Literary
Tour
There is something about New Orleans, especially the French
Quarter, that just makes you want to read…and write. Maybe it’s the history, the music or the
haunted buildings. Maybe it’s the
legacy of Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, and Anne Rice. Whatever it is, you’re sure to
feel it moving in your soul when you walk the humid, colorful streets with names like Conti, Burgundy
(emphasis on “gun”) and Bourbon.
Whenever I get to NOLA, I just want to rip my shirt open, scream,
“Stella!!!” and pick up a book…or a pen.
I just returned from the Horror Writers Convention/Bram
Stoker Awards at NOLA’s Hotel Monteleone.
What could be more fun than selling a book about Royal Street than
actually doing it on Royal Street? Even
better than signing books, were my slow walks around the Quarter that revealed one deposit of great books after another.
Here are a few favorites.
Your blog is wonderful, T.R. I've shared it on Facebook, and of course spread the word everywhere else.
