Thomas Mullen is the author of The Last Town on Earth, which was named Best Debut Novel of 2006 by USA Today, was a Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year, and was awarded the James Fenimore Cooper Prize for excellence in historical fiction.  FoxTale is honored to host a book signing for Mullen's newest novel, The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers. 

In award-winning author Thomas Mullen's evocative new novel, we follow the depression-era adventures of Jason and Whit Fireson—bank robbers known as the Firefly Brothers by the press, the authorities, and an adoring public that worships their acts as heroic counterpunches thrown at a broken system. 

Late one night in August 1934, following a yearlong spree of bank robberies across the Midwest, the Firefly Brothers are forced into a police shootout and die . . . for the first time.

Writer's Workshop
& Booksigning

FoxTale is pleased to offer a Writer's Workshop led by the award-winning, legendary author Terry Kay. Perhaps his most well-known book is To Dance with the White Dog, which was made into a Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Kay's novel, The Valley of Light, won the 2004 Townsend Prize for Fiction. He won the 1981 Georgia Author of the Year Award for After Eli, and the Southeastern Library Association named him Outstanding Author of the Year in 1991 for To Dance with the White Dog. He won a Southern Emmy Award in 1990 for his teleplay, Run Down the Rabbit and received the Appalachian Heritage Writers Award in 2006. Also in '06, Kay was inducted into the Georgia Writers' Hall of Fame.

"The DNA of Writing: Tips and Tricks Not Likely to be Found in a Classroom"
Workshop Time: 1:00 - 4:00 PM
Cost: $90 Payment required when making reservation

Terry's workshop recognizes what he calls "the DNA of writing" - the power of verbs and the understanding of rhythm - plus the use of outlining to create the flow of ideas. Kay's workshop will focus on the practical applications of writing creatively (how one thinks about it). Unlike anything you've heard in a typical writing class, Kay's instruction is based on experience - his own and what he has gleaned from incredibly gifted writers he has met throughout his career. From fiction to memoir to business writing and everything in between, The DNA of Writing provides writers with useful tricks of the trade (taught by the man who has used them all.)
