The Pulpwood Queens

By Charles Martin

This week, my book tour brought me to Jefferson, Texas and the incomparable, Kathy Patrick. Kathy runs a hair salon called “Beauty and the Book” as well as a book club called, “The Pulpwood Queens.”  It’s huge. More than 200 chapters around the world.

We had a great time.  I took a few photos.  Enjoy.  If you hurry, you’ll see me in a wig.
