Houston History Book Fair & Symposium
If any of y’all are in the Houston area, I’d love to meet you at the Houston History Book Fair & Symposium this Saturday, November 14. Admission is free, and it’s a great event that highlights local history writers and their work.
Houston History Book Fair & Symposium
Saturday, November 14, 2015, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Historic Julia Ideson Building
550 McKinney Street in Downtown Houston
There’s a great list of speakers presenting on their work during the day. I’ll have copies of both my steamboat and blockade-running books for sale ($20 ea., two for $35, three for $50, and 4+ at $15 ea.). If you already have a copy, or want to order one online ahead of time (at a bigger discount than I can make), bring that and I’ll be happy to autograph it. But mostly I’d like to meet and talk to folks. If nothing else, the book fair is a great place to pick up some holiday gifts for friends and family.
Hope to see y’all there!

We were in Houston — gads it was just last weekend! Where we did a presentation from The American Slave Coast at the Brazos Bookstore. Dang, on the timing, because otherwise we could have caught up with you.
8 weeks on tour support for the book — it nearly killed us. Not exaggerating. But very grateful we had the opportunity and wherewithall to do this, including the friends in Houston, who set it up and gave a dinner party and put us up as well.
Brazos Bookstore is a real gem. Congrats!
Thanks! So much to be thankful for this year particularly.
But I think I think that every year — that’s how fortunate I am.
Love, C.
