You
Have to Eat Your Green Vegetables
- An Interview with Kay Sloan
- by Pam Kingsbury
The Mississippi of Kay Sloan's childhood holds
a prominent place in her fiction as do the voices she heard growing up
there. Her first novel, Worry Beads, won the Ohioana Award for
Fiction, and her second novel, The Patron Saint of the Red Chevys,
has won two nominations in "young adult fiction."

Flying to His Own Tune
- An Interview with Rich Everitt
- by Joyce Dixon
-
Rich Everitt likes
life on the edge. He teases gravity as a pilot, but it was his
roles as a musician and journalist that triggered the inspiration for a
book exploring the deaths of singers and musicians who met their end in
flight. His unique knowledge of air travel and bands adds to the depth
of his book.

What
is the magic of Elvis? It may be as simple as a southern boy making his
way out of poverty, while remembering the traditions of family, faith,
and good manners. Elvis never forgot these things, and this foundation
was created during his youth in Tupelo, Mississippi.
- by Cathy Rogers
Like most native
southerners, I mispronounce a few words, stretch some monosyllabic words
into longer ones, and blur the syllables of other words. But even taking all
of this into consideration, I am still occasionally shocked, and/or amused,
by some of the things I hear.
Porch Tales
Porch Tales are personal essays that
bring memories of family, community, place and all those favorite
stories passed on the porch.
