  • Thoughtful people in Cullman

    Cullman was one of twenty stops I made while on book tour for “A Silence of Mockingbirds: The Memoir of a Murder.” I came to town at the request of Loretta Gillespie. We had met previously at the Alabama Book Festival in Montgomery. When Loretta learned I would be touring with my newest release, she asked if I would please come to her part of the country.
    One of the greatest blessings about touring with a book is the people I meet along the way. I knew something about the people of Cullman because Loretta had forwarded on to me stories of the aftermath of last year's devastating tornado. I had the opportunity to visit with Jimmy Simms and to hear first-hand his story of survival.
