Del Shores "The Storyteller"
From the twisted mind behind Sordid Lives, Southern Baptist Sissies and Dady's Dyin... Who's Got the Will Del Shores will share the real life stories that have inspired his writing and more in Del Shores The Storyteller. Yes, there was a man with two wooden legs. But did his grandmother trip over them and die while having a sordid affair? And did his mother really ask What exactly do you dowhen you are gay? If so, what was the acclaimed writers response (Sordid Lives)? Yes, prayers were answered and a matching vein was found in a vein bank over in Baton Rogue to replace his Uncle Humpty's collapsed vein. But did Humpty lose the leg after all those prayers (Southern Baptist Sissies)? And what relative really shot a policeman in the saliva gland and shoulder (Trailer Trash Housewife)? Truth and fiction are finally separated in Del Shores The Storyteller.
Del will be telling the stories behind the stories and dishing the dirt from his work including Queer as Folk, The "Housewives", Queer as Folk and Perez Hilton!!
