Gumbo Lagniappe (You'Ve Got to Be Kidding) (ePub)

Born in San Francisco, California, David J. Holcombe grew up in the East Bay when pear and walnut orchards dominated the landscape. Far removed from the poverty and strife of many locations, his doting parents encouraged him with a degree of salutary neglect. Beginning writing in high school, he continued in college at the University of California at Davis where he took courses from Diane Murray-Johnson (author of Le Mariage and Le Divorce).

He remains an obscure author outside of his small city, but has nonetheless been nicknamed by his compatriots the "Chekhov on the Bayou." Chekhov would not be amused. David Holcombe and his long-suffering wife continue to support the local arts scene by hosting visiting artists, musicians and filmmakers, attending all manner of arts activities and donating time and treasure to local theater groups and arts organizations.
