OutWrite Author Series Presents: Honky Tonk Diva

OutWrite is pleased to present Honky Tonk Diva, the first in a series of book readings and discussions featuring gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) Authors.

Ellis Nassour will read from and discuss his book, Honky Tonk Angel, The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline. This event takes place on Thursday May 29th from 8:00 to 9:00 PM at Artfully Chocolate Kingsbury Confections 1529C 14th Street, NW.

Ellis Nassour, author of Honky Tonk Angel, was the very first to write about Patsy Cline and did so with the cooperation of the stars who knew and loved her – including Jimmy Dean, Jan Howard, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Roger Miller, Dottie West, and Faron Young. He was the only writer to interview Cline’s mother and husbands. Nassour is a veteran of the New York Times and an entertainment writer who has devoted the past 15 years to promoting the legacy of Patsy Cline and has been involved in two musicals of her story. He lives in New York City.

The OutWrite Author Series provides a space for GLBT authors to share and discuss their work with the community. This initiative is a partnership between The DC Center and White Crane Institute. Find out more at www.outwritedc.org.
