The Queen and I


All rise.
This here is Jill Conner Browne, aka, the Boss Queen of the Sweet Potato Queens, who was signing books about 45 minutes from here today. What a hoot. (And her Cutest Boy in the World husband--her nickname--Kyle.) I went to cover her talk and signing for the paper, and also hung around and met some cool people.

She and Kyle were stopping between events in Atlanta and Montgomery. They travel in what she calls the Big Ass Bus. (And it is. Garish in its pink and yellow, but oddly attractive in a Southern Gothic sort of way.)
Starting off the day, I found a Mexican restaurant in nearby Lanett, Ala., which a) had surprisingly authentic food and b) wireless Internet. Stranger than fiction.
