Virginia Boyd had an book and media tour through Tennessee this week and charmed all of her fans.
So many who had read One Fell Swoop in the audience at Davis-Kidd in Nashville on Tuesday evening said that they had loved the book when they read it, but that Virginia’s wonderful accent made it irresistable. Here’s hoping that it will be released eventually on CD as well as soft cover.
There was a great crowd in Nashville and Bev Peery and Ginger Nalley were on hand to greet everybody! Terrific authors such as Gary Slaughter, Michael Lee West and Darnell Arnoult, who has been in a writing group with Virginia for years, as well as other guests joined us afterward for a party al fresco afterward hosted by Susan Gregg Gilmore and me.
Debbie Alan and Virginia had a delightful chat about the book and Virginia’s odysee as an author on On The HomeStretch - check it out.
Book Talk on WYPL radio in Memphis will air a fun interview with Virginia scheduled for the week of Sept. 8. She talks a little about the hilarious journey of exploration for two adult sisters who drive across country with their dead mother in the front seat in order to bury her in the shadow of Elvis’ home in Gone To Graceland which is her upcoming book. The sisters have taken two very different paths in lives and this book delves into the choices women have as well as tapping in to the fascinating world of the proactive fans of Elvis.
It was fun to be in Memphis during the Elvis 2008 week which commemorates the death of the King of Rock and Roll and draws fans to Graceland from all over the world — people watching was fascinating, complete with several Elvis impersonators.
