From the author of the book comes a wonderful tour and a riveting journey through the forgotten parts of downtown Galveston that were once bustling with wild parties and generous offerings of hourly love.
Join renowned author and speaker Kimber Fountain as she brings to life the tales – both tragic and triumphant – of Galveston’s Red Light District: A History of The Line
Known today as a colorful resort destination featuring family-friendly entertainment and a thriving arts district, Galveston was once notorious for its flourishing vice economy of illegal liquor and gambling and an infamous red light district called simply, “The Line.”
This unassuming five blocks of Postoffice Street came to life every night and remained a stubborn mainstay of the island cityscape for nearly seventy years. In the late 1950s, the era was known as the “Free State of Galveston” finally came to an end, and today, almost all that remains of its history has been sensationalized and marginalized.
Galveston was more than just a city of “gangsters” and lewd women, and Kimber Fountain pursues the authentic, sequestered story of women who wanted to make their own rules and the city that wanted to let them.

“Beyond the Halls” is a book that speaks to museum lovers (and haters) who are looking to discover, for the first time, the history of museums and the dynamic nature of the industry. The past, present, and future of human culture can be found inside glass, on walls or tucked away in a climate-controlled environment. But what attracts society to collect fine art, pottery, and other ancient artifacts? Why do museums exist? In “Beyond the Halls: An Insider’s Guide to Loving Museums” you’ll find a brief history of museums while exploring the present nature of these institutions and thought-provoking ways to interact with them.
Two book signings will be held. December 14th (3-5pm), The Proletariat, located at 2221 Market St., Downtown, will have food and drink available for purchase from the Proletariat and plenty of books available for purchase and signing from the author.
December 21st (2-4pm), Blu Boutique, located at 2425 Strand St., Downtown Galveston. Come on down to BLU Boutique on the Strand for a book signing of ‘Beyond the Halls’ and a meet-and-greet with author Mackenzie Finklea. There will be beverages available for purchase from the bar at BLU, live music, and plenty of books available for purchase as well.
