Tuesday Night Love Letters<\/em><\/strong>
\nby Gini Brown and Leslie Watts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Galveston Bookshop will host a book signing on Saturday, May 25th, 2:00-4:00 p.m. for local authors Gini Brown and Leslie Watts, with their new collection of stories from Galveston\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday nights from June to August, Galveston\u2019s Summer Beach Band presents free concerts featuring rousing marches and show tunes. Each program includes a short vignette of local \u201cfacts, fables, or fabulous fibs,\u201d as interpreted by local authors Gini Brown and Leslie Watts.<\/p>\n

These entertaining stories are not a history of Galveston in the strict sense of that word, but the more entertaining non-historical history \u2013 the little stories of people and events \u2013 the tall tales, the gossip, the \u201cdidja hears\u201d \u2013 as shared by local folk over back-alley fences, between doughnut shop stools, around cafeteria tables, at church socials and family reunions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTuesday Night Love Letters\u201d is a selection of favorite stories that Gini and Leslie have collected over the years, a few dozen short tales of Galveston history as many think it should be told \u2013 warm, witty, and memorable, if not always true.<\/p>\n

Gini Brown is also author of \u201cGalveston: Lore, Legends, & Downright Lies,\u201d to which the current book may be considered a sequel. Gini and Leslie are both longtime residents of Galveston, and both are very active in the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
