“When I was growing up in Corpus Christi in the 1960’s, the idea of meeting a real author seemed like a distant prospect. Had the Corpus Christi Literary Reading Series existed then, it would have made my dream of becoming a writer myself someday tantalizingly real. I can only guess at the impact this wonderful institution has had on generations of young people since, and being asked to come home and participate in the series myself was a deeply rewarding honor.”
