Busy Mississippi Tour for Perfect Killer

After nearly being stranded in Houston on Thursday as Hurricane Rita bore down on the South again, I finally made it to Jackson.

Saturday saw a great signing at Lemuria Book Store. Among the people visiting was a representative of my old boss, U.S. Senator Thad Cochran who had to have a signed copy of the first book I have set in Mississippi.

Later, I had a reading for a group of supporters of the Mississippi Center for Justice, (which gets 5% of the royalties from Perfect Killer.)

While taking a walk today, I shot a photo of a Passion Flower, one of the beautiful blossoms that grows from a vine that is everywhere this time of year.

Tomorrow, I head for Greenville with a television appearance on Wednesday morning ( 6 a.m., CDT) to talk about Books 'n Blues, then over to Square Books (owned by my cousin Richard Howorth) in Oxford for another signing.

Thursday, I will be signing at the base book store at Naval Air Station, Meridian.

Virtual Tour Mostly Live

Yes, I know I need to do some cosmetic work on the thumbnail pages to get the little images to line up correctly, but the rest of the Perfect Killer Virtual Tour is pretty much operational.

I will post more photos as time allows.

Just a warning: where are a number of .mpg video files that are quite large and will require long downloads if you have SBC (Slow Balky Connection) DSL (Digital Snail Line) like I do.

I uploaded the .mpgs (set the upload then went to bed) because I know some people -- like Comcast users and people staying in hotels -- don't have to deal with SBC's Third-World Internet performance.

Virtual Tour Shaping up

I'm creating an online virtual tour of Perfect Killer in which you will be able to see all the places, people and things mentioned in the book.

The pages with still images are posted, and I'm about one-third of the way through the links that are keyed to specific pages in the book.

I have some videos -- some Google Earth movies and some video of Dan Gabriel and others -- I plan to post soon.

Because so much of Perfect Killer is true and/or based on history, I'm trying very hard to give you a visual experience to enhance the reading.
