Southern Writers Anthology Selection
Even though I’ve been “gone off up north” for twenty years, I
lived my first thirty-three years in the Deep South and all of my fiction has
focused on southern characters. I’m honored that southern fiction scholar Jean
W. Cash, author of biographies of Flannery O’Connor and Larry Brown, selected
me as one of nineteen authors to be featured in Twenty-First-Century Southern Writers: New Voices, New Perspectives published
by the University Press of Mississippi. Kevin Catalano, whose excellent fiction
deserves a wide audience and will earn him many accolades in the future, did a
fine job with his essay “Joe Samuel Starnes: A Devoted Disciple of the Rough
South Gospel” that explores my novels Calling, Fall Line, and Red Dirt.
