Glisson, J. T.

  J. T. Glisson is a gifted artist and writer who lives in Evingston, a small town near Cross Creek.  As a young man, J. T. was a confidante and protégé of his neighbor, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who encouraged him to write and draw.  J. T. was profoundly influenced by his family and "Miz" Rawlings and he captured his childhood adventures in his first book, The Creek.  He has followed this with Guardian Angel 911, his memoirs about his early adult years which center around the frantic attempts by his guardian angel, Lucille, to keep him from harm's way.  As he did in The Creek in Guardian Angel 911, Glisson tells tall tales that are truthful, but which sometimes verge on the unbelievable.  911 is a refreshing and rollicking tale that covers a lifetime spent in rural Florida, in Europe, South America and the Far East.

J. T. Lives with his long-suffering wife, Pat, in Evingston.  He is available for talks and author events.  You can contact him by telephone at (352) 591-3314 or by mail at P.O. 0, Evingston, FL 32633.
