Great day at Neshoba County Fair Arts Show

Many thanks to Steve Stubbs, proprietor of Dancing Rabbit Press in Philadelphia, Mississippi, for allowing me to join him for a day-long book signing at the 2007 Neshoba County Fair Arts & Craft Show Saturday, July 21. While we were all surprised by the less than 100 degree temperatures, there was no surprise with the genuine hospitality of the people there. I personally enjoyed the opportunity to meet a hoard of new readers as well as catch-up with some of the nearly grown and really sharp looking children from the area that I was fortunate enough to greet at their birth.

Please contact Steve Stubbs at 601.650.1999 about his wonderful books documenting the history of the Neshoba County Fair and county residents who served in the Civil War or the World Wars. Steve and his associate Cindy Runnels have The Shop on the Corner bookstore on the downtown square of Philadelphia, MS --- a really neat independent bookstore that no one should miss.

They soon found themselves talking about books and decided to devote one meeting each month to having a book club. The program is sponsored by the Mississippi State University Extension Service - Chocktaw County. Last year the Yarn Spinners read and discussed my newest novel, "Wiggle Room," but in 2015 my second novel, "Points of Origin," a national IPPY award-winner in Southern Fiction, was the focus of intention. Pictured separately via Skype and Facetime are the guest novelist and the Yarn Spinners group with guests. The club shared with me the 23 discussion questions it considered including such concepts as what was the central conflict of the novel’s plot, how does one ...

Listener posts 5 Star Review of the audiobook HOUSE CALL on audible.com

Most Helpful Most Recent Most Helpful Most Recent 5 out of 5 stars Did not disappoint! I read Darden North’s first novel, “House Call,” when it was first published and have enjoyed his other novels since. Recently, I’ve gotten into listening to audiobooks on my drive to and from work, so I was thrilled to see that “House Call” had just come out—and I was not disappointed.
