Merry Christmas everyone! December

has been another busy month for the

Pulpwood Queen. From holiday parties,

shopping for Christmas trees, filming at

Beauty and the Book, and getting ready

for an extraordinary Girlfriend Weekend

in just a few weeks, there has been veryfew quite moments in my neck of the

woods.

This issue of The Pulp newsletter is chock

full of important information to get you

oriented with the exciting events set to

take place at Girlfriend Weekend. There

are so many fantastic authors joining us

Fairhope, Alabama writer Sonny Brewer

has been happy to take his place. Brewer

is a master storyteller that you are sure

to love!

If youre looking for some last minute

Christmas gifts, Beauty and the Book has

Get ready folks, as I will be

announcing the date very soon for

the first ever FRED MCKENZIESTORYTELLING FESTIVAL

that I envision featuring great

author storytellers, a storytelling

contest, time for Fred McKenzie

stories, and also a story writing

contest for all the area children.

The festival will involve rockers on

porches, a BICYCLE PARADE for

LITERACY, (Fred's bicycle built fortwo was legendary in all the parades),

but best of all, it will be a celebration of

one of historic Jefferson, Texas most

colorful and literary characters, actor,

author, pilot, bookstore owner,

historian, my friend Fred McKenzie!

So who was Fred McKenzie?

Fred McKenzie was my former

bookseller and author with whom I

shared a building with. A hallway

separated Fred McKenzies Books on

the Bayou store and my Beauty and the

Book shop. During quiet times in the

shop, I would hop across the hall and

plop down in a folding chair situated

in front of Freds desk. I spent many

wonderful days visiting with my

80+ year old friend. Unfortunately,

Fred passed away several years ago

at the young age of 90. Nothing

would please me more than tocreate a literary event in historic

Jefferson, Texas in his honor. Stay

tuned for more details!
