Join us as we welcome author Phillip Andrew Gibbs to Tea Olive Books! His newest book, Wicked Macon, guides readers on a tour of Macon’s seedy underbelly of pool halls, gambling houses, and saloons in the early 1900s, including a red-light district known as Tybee that operated without interference from local authorities, much to the dismay of local ministers and educators.Books will be available for signing, and may be pre-ordered from Tea Olive Books.
Phillip Andrew Gibbs is a professor emeritus of history at Middle Georgia State University. Although a native Virginian, he has lived and taught in Georgia since 1987. An avid tennis player, cyclist and traveler, he also works as a professional musician, performing regularly throughout the southeastern United States with the Georgia Chryslers, a rock, pop and R&B band. He lives in Kathleen, Georgia, with his wife, Penny; their dog, Jack; and Moe, the three-legged cat. This is his second book with The History Press.
