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 Dying”. He took the time to talk with each of us hometown folks. An amazing man and great loss to the literary world.
