“Bringing Old Crime Stories to Life”
Some of the best Southern evenings begin with a comfortable chair, a glass of sweet tea, and somebody saying, “Let me tell you a story.” That’s the feeling I’d love to bring to your next gathering. I’m Michael Earl Simmons, and I tell carefully researched stories of forgotten Southern crimes and mysteries—the kind that draw folks closer, get them wondering, and give them something to talk about on the way home. Whether you’re planning a historical society meeting, a banquet, or a special evening in your hometown, I’ll bring the warmth, curiosity, and storytelling. Tell me a little about your gathering, and let’s find a story your guests will remember.
