Visiting Baxter Springs, KS - the setting for "Home Again"

We are on our Route 66 motorcycle trip and got a chance to visit Baxter Springs, KS, the town where I based both my short story, Lost and Found, as well as the novel, Home Again. It's been raining off and on since last night (we are staying in Miami, OK, 16 miles away) and grabbed a ride over during a break.

Unfortunately that break didn't last long enough for many local photos but we did take one outside the Cherokee Co. News-Advocate where we missed talking to the editor and one at the Johnston Public Library where I donated a copy of Home Again. We met Andrea Bresee, Assistant Director, plus the library cat!

What a treat...well, except for the rain. ;)
