GBF Featured Author Brad Parks Writes a Love Story?

GBF featured author and Shamus Award winner Brad Parks ("Eyes of the Innocent" and "Faces of the Gone") recently penned a (charming and funny!) piece for Shelf Awareness about his email correspondence with Gayle Harris, owner of the Books and Crannies bookstore in Texas, and subsequent visit to her store.

One reveal in the piece: When he reads he does voices! Could make for an interesting show when this Shamus Award winner is at our book festival on May 21!

Read the full story, including his run-in with Gayle's husband who greeted Brad by saying: "So, this is my competition, huh? My wife has been taking you to bed with her every night this week." (Oh, and did we mention he has a Shamus Award? Why are we mentioning that so much? Read his Shelf Awareness piece and you'll get the joke!)
