The Jesse Stuart Foundation has just released a new book entitled "True Christmas Stories From the Heart of Appalachia". The book has 43 Christmas stories from 39 authors. It has stories from my friends,
Edwina Pendarvis and Emily Steiner, as well as the well known authors
Jesse Stuart, Thomas D. Clark, Cratis Williams, Bill Best, and Billy C. Clark. Including my story, "Christmas On Beaver Creek", there are three stories which are set in Knott County. Two of those stories are set at Pippa Passes and the Caney Creek Community Center. This book is a wonderful addition to your collections of Christmas books or Appalachian books. It is also a wonderful Christmas gift for those who love to remember and work to preserve the Appalachia of their childhood. It is well worth reading and will take nearly every reader back to some wonderful memory from your growing up years. I
have a limited number of copies available with my autograph at the price
of $25.00 plus $3.00 shipping (28.00 total) which is the
price set by the publisher. The book will cost you the same amount of money without any autographs from the Jesse Stuart Foundation. I will accept PayPal at rchicks@mrtc.com.
I will also accept orders with a check or US Postal Money Order at:
Roger D. Hicks
65 Highway 1081
West Liberty, KY 41472
Send me an e-mail there with your name, address, and the name of the person to which you want each copy dedicated.
Here is an excerpt from my story: "Late in the evenings when the fire
was warm and business slow, the older men would stop by the store to
tell stories about old Christmas with the cattle kneeling in the
fields...and how some old preacher talked about three men who rode on
camels across a big desert following a star to take some fancy presents
to a baby who was just like us, too poor to be born in a hospital."
