The Atlanta Speedway Part 2: The Legend of the Merry Widow

What turned out to be my favorite story about Asa Candler, Jr., is now live. It formerly lived in my author blog, but its rightful home is here, alongside the rest of Buddie’s adventures.

Originally posted back in July of 2017, the author blog version ended on a cliffhanger, promising insights into the drama caused by Barney Oldfield that landed Buddie and his friend Ed Durant in gossip columns throughout Atlanta. The follow-up post never happened because by that point I was deep into the first draft of Asa From the Ashes, my forthcoming novel based on the life of Asa Candler, Jr.

Now that this site is live and the manuscript is finalized, I will have to make time for the next part in the Atlanta Speedway’s journey very soon. Hold me to that.
