Wally Avett and Murder in Caney Fork!!
Jim Powell, a well-known artist in North Georgia and currently an editorial cartoonist for several weekly newspapers, did this marvelous caricature of Wally Avett holding a copy of his new release, Murder in Caney Fork.
“He did this bobble head — how, I don’t know —and he is an old friend of mine. Jim was raised in his grandfather’s country store, where he listened to never-ending discussions on country life, weather, farming, politics, etc. He taught school at Blairsville, and was editor of the weekly paper at Hiawassee when I got to know him. Great guy, we traded stories (and sometimes pocket-knives) when he made his weekly trip to Murphy to get his paper printed on our big web press.”
Jim Powell lives with his writer-wife Roxanne (married 45 years) in the mountains near Young Harris.
