"As a child, Bob Thompson had nothing but time, passing his days on the front porch of his Granny's country store in Western Kentucky. His closest friends were his grandmother and the regulars at Ogden Landing Road grocery who would readily stop to swap stories and spin yarns. Those experiences led Thompson to discover his own passion for storytelling, and he has been sharing his tales with audiences since the early 1980s, constantly honing his unique style and personal delivery. In Stitched Together, Bob Thompson returns to his roots in a new exploration of both his early life in Kentucky as well as the adventures that have taken him around the world. However, as in his first book, it is the characters of his early life that shine most brightly"--Provided by publisher.

Bob Thompson is chairman and program director for Louisville-based Corn Island Storytelling, which produces the Corn Island Storytelling Festival and the Kentucky Homefront Radio show. He is the author of Hitchhiker: Stories from the Kentucky Homefront.
