Louisiana native, author Ernest Gaines died today at age 86. He has been one of my favorite authors all my grown up life. He was actually born on a plantation not far from the town I was born in. I met him in person at a book signing for his novel “A Lesson Before Dyingâ€. He took the time to talk with each of us hometown folks. An amazing man and great loss to the literary world.
