Book Signing (Napa, CA)

Can't decide whether or not to buy a pair of custom boots? Here, let me get you a glass of wine.

Come to the Napa Valley. Visit Terri Courtney in her red-barn-bootshop. Buy my book, or bring your well-worn copy. I'll sign it. It'll be swell.

Radio Interview

Tomorrow morning (August 8) at 11am Eastern. I will interviewed by Carol Beaugard, Host of Lonesome Pine RFD on WFDU-FM.

If you're not in New York... that's a-okay. You can listen to WFDU online. Remember, that's 8am Pacific Time, 11am Eastern.

Sorrell Custom Boots (on the Road)

Like many custom bootmakers, Lisa Sorrell must personally measure your foot before she will take your boot order. Fortunately, she's willing to meet you partway.

Lisa ventures out of Guthrie, Oklahoma twice a year; once each January to the High Noon Show in Phoenix, AZ. and once in September to the Western Design Conference.

This year, I joined Lisa for the show in Phoenix. I signed books and bragged about Lisa's bootmaking. Lisa measured feet and answered many many questions about cowboy boots and bootmaking.

Lisa's boots were a naturally "fit" with all the fine Western art that filled the room. Her cowboy boots are "suitable for framing" as you can see from the photos of her booth, but I can personally attest that they are more fun to wear on your feet.

(For more photos of Lisa Sorrell's boots please visit her website at www.customboots.net)

Flip Flops & Spurs

I grew up in La Jolla. Warwick's was the place I bought books, birthday cards and last-minute poster board for overdue science projects. My book signing had a wonderful mix of familiar faces and complete strangers.
