Local Georgia Authors Celebrated: Randy Farmer Discusses Latest Book with Georgia Radio's Matt Jolley


GEORGIA RADIO - The vibrant literary scene of Georgia continues to flourish as local authors take center stage, with Randy Farmer being the latest to captivate Georgia Radio audiences with his intriguing narrative. Farmer, a seasoned author whose roots trace back to Texas, recently engaged in a stimulating conversation with Georgia Radio's Matt Jolley, shedding light on his latest book and its profound ties to the American South and, notably, Georgia.

Residing in Atlanta since early 2019 before relocating back to his native Texas in mid-2024, Farmer's journey is deeply intertwined with the rich history and culture of the Southern states. Drawing inspiration from his lineage, which boasts a lineage of early Texas settlers, Farmer embarked on a decades-long quest fueled by a family heirloom and a curiosity for the clandestine. This curiosity served as the impetus for over 25 years of exhaustive research, culminating in Farmer's exploration of the enigmatic Knights of the Golden Circle, a secretive organization that left an indelible mark on American history.



While Farmer's latest book may appear to center on Texas, he says that the influence of the Knights of the Golden Circle extended far beyond state lines. In their engaging dialogue, Farmer and Jolley delved into the intricate web of historical events and characters that populate Farmer's narrative, offering audiences a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of Southern history. Farmer's meticulous research and compelling storytelling were lauded by Jolley, underscoring the importance of celebrating local authors who illuminate the hidden corners of regional history.



As the celebration of local Georgia authors continues, Farmer's latest work stands as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in the American South, inviting readers to embark on a journey through time and uncover the untold stories that shape our collective identity.
