Last chance to order for Christmas!

If you hope to order copies of any of my books in time for Christmas, this is pretty much your last chance. Due to mail volume this time of year, this weekend is the last opportunity to make sure that book shipments are delivered by Christmas day. If you order before Monday, they should make it.

Copies are available of all three: The Battle of Marianna, Florida, The Battle of Natural Bridge, Florida, and Two Egg, Florida: A Collection of Ghost Stories, Legends and Unusual Facts.

You can order them online at www.exploresouthernhistory.com/dalecox or through www.barnesandnoble.com, www.amazon.com or your favorite online bookstore. If you are in the Northwest Florida area, signed copies are available at Chipola River Book and Tea at 4402 Lafayette Street in downtown Marianna (on the same block as the Gazebo restaurant across the street from the Battle of Marianna monument).

Chipola River Book and Tea

I want to congratulate my friends at Chipola River Book and Tea on their second year in business in Marianna. They are located at 4402 Lafayette Street in downtown Marianna (directly across the street from the Battle of Marianna monument) and are the exclusive local retailer for my books.

Michael (a she, by the way) and the rest of the staff there have done a phenomenal job of bringing a much needed business to Jackson County. When she arrived in Marianna, she immediately noticed that the community needed a nice, local bookstore. So, she started one.

I discovered it during the summer and have been very impressed. She brings old books back to life and provides an outlet for local writers and artists.

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I will be there on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. to sign copies of The Battle of Marianna, Florida, The Battle of Natural Bridge, Florida and Two Egg, Florida.

If you can't make it on Saturday, drop by anytime. They carry my books as well as hundreds of others of interest.
