I am so excited and honored to be chosen to participate in the Authors Alley at the 2023 Mississippi Book Festival. I will be signing my novel Inescapable and will be joined by over 90 of our favorite writers, including John Ryland (The Unkindness of Ravens) from the Tuscaloosa Writers’ and Illustrators’ Guild (TWIG) and Janne Swearengen (The Yorkie Who Sings at Midnight). Some of the tremendous writers featured on this year’s panels include Nancy Dorman-Hickson (“A Brother’s Death” in All Night, All Day: Life, Death & Angels), John Floyd (The Barrens), Wayne Flynt (Afternoons with Harper Lee), Cheryl A. Head (Time’s Undoing), Jenny Jackson (Pineapple Street), Averyell Kessler (All Night, All Day: Life, Death & Angels), James McBride (The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store), Deesha Philyaw (The Secret Lives of Church Ladies), Richard Russo (Somebody’s Fool), Michael Farris Smith (Salvage This World), and so many others. Join us on August 19. It will be a blast!
