New Press on the Book: The Politic

The Politic, a Yale undergraduate publication, has published an interview with me about Walkin' Lawton. I'm proud of this collaboration. I wrote an article for The Politic when I was a student at Yale College. It was excellent practice for me as I worked at my wordcraft.

Reading some of the other articles online now at The Politic, I'm impressed by the journalism. They have been able to attract some very significant interview subjects, too.

Here is a LINK to this latest interview about Walkin' Lawton.

New Book Review

The Tampa Bay Times has just published their book review of Walkin' Lawton. I'm delighted for the Chiles legacy to receive such significant coverage. And I'm pleased that the reviewer found it "compelling."

I did years of research into the St. Petersburg Times (the former name for The Tampa Bay Times) archive to unlock the reams of information necessary to complete my biography. I think it's a fine newspaper that holds the state's governors accountable.

The Rest of the Book Tour

I'm still planning out the rest of the book tour. Ideally, it will continue through the fall. There are several book festivals coming up in Florida.

And I'd like to do another book event in my hometown of Annapolis.

I'm excited for the Florida Historical Society annual conference in May--it will be held aboard a cruise ship sailing for the Bahamas.

Samuel Proctor Award

 Wonderful news to kick of the New Year!!

Walkin' Lawton has won the Samuel Proctor Award from the Florida Historical Society.  It's an award for an outstanding oral history project substantially about Florida.

 

 

Walkin' Lawton in Annapolis

We had a wonderful book signing at Back Creek Books last week--until the power went out due to a local electrical grid malfunction. Nonetheless, the independent, charming bookstore was a fine venue for Walkin' Lawton.

Walkin' Lawton continues to sell well online.

More book events, in Florida and elsewhere, will occur next year. Stay tuned!
