We picked this up from our buddies over at the Fan District Hub. Richmonder Harry Kollatz, who loves Richmond well about as much as I do, but knows a lot more about Richmond history than I do just published a new book, True Richmond Stories, which also happens to cooly be available on line. Kollatz often writes about Richmond history for Richmond Magazine, and has published books before. If I’m not mistaken he wrote one about The Village Cafe (corner of Harrison and West Grace) where he and I used to hang, and where my husband and I met.
Anyway, Check out this awesome new book. And, if you didn’t know, the Richmond Metro visitor’s center has stopped offering daily tours of the city….Looks like he might be trying to fill in that spot with his GRTA Richmond Bus tour.

This very evening [Tuesday] I’ll be appearing (not in a nimbus of light, nor with thrones of angels singing my arrival) at Fountain Books, 1312 E. Cary St., at 6:30 p.m., and I’ll read some pieces and sign books and even act all author-like and stuff.

If you can’t catch me there, I’m next set to go on October 15 at Cafe Gutenberg, 1700 E. Main St., at 7 p.m. and a conceptual-type presentation will occur on October 26, 7:30 p.m. in conjunction with partner-in-art Amie Oliver’s exhibit Walk The Walk at Plant Zero Art Center, 0 E. 4th St. in Manchester (South Richmond), where books will also be available.
