Read Angela Crider Neary's Post about Charleston, SC

Fire Star Press: Behind the Literature II: I previously posted a piece here (http://firestarpress.blogspot.com/2016/01/behind-literature.html) about my discovery that Jack London and Hunter S. Thompson had both once lived in Sonoma County, not far from where I live now.  I was fascinated to imagine these historical literary figures living their lives in some of the same places I now live my own.  What would it be like to run into Jack London at the local saloon, or Hunter S. Thompson at the corner market (or more likely, the local saloon)?

Poe really got around! I usually seek out used bookstores and thrift stores whenever I visit a distant city. And, good restaurants, too!
