In thirty stories curated from the archives, Holley introduces readers to his favorite people and places across the state from Brazos to Waco, including the Black Seminole tradition, the creator of Conan the Barbarian, a brush with Bonnie and Clyde, the moon towers of Austin, and more. Tuesday, July 30. Doors open at 6pm; the event begins at 6:30pm. Books will be available for sales and signing at the event. Sponsored by Trinity University Press and Brazos Bookstore.
