Loiacono Literary Agency and Kathleen Rodgers celebrate acquisition!

January 12, 2014

Tom and I spent a glorious Saturday with my agent and her husband in historic downtown Grapevine, TX, the setting for my new novel. Here’s what Jeanie Loiacono had to say about our afternoon together:

Loiacono Literary Agency and Kathleen Rodgers celebrate acquisition!

To celebrate the acquisition of Johnnie Come Lately by Coffeetown Press, author Kathleen Rodgers, her husband, Tom, Jeanie Loiacono, her literary agent, and her husband, Robert Loiacono, visited several sites mentioned in the novel.

Portion, Texas, was based on Grapevine, Texas; specifically the Main Street areas of the Historic District very close to Grapevine Lake. Turning onto Main from West Dallas Road, it was like going back in time -- all the buildings were older and renovated; quaint, unique shops; lots of people walking. Of course, the weather was gorgeous; an unusual 60+F for a January day.

In future installments, we shall share photos and give tidbits of information concerning the novel. When you “meet” Johnnie Kitchen, you will feel like she is your long, lost friend, and you may even be tempted to visit Grapevine. 

To read more about the acquisition, check out the official press release issued last week:
