Can you spill a little bit on what Just South of Biloxi is about
without giving too much away?
Just South of Biloxi is a mainly about a girl battling some inner demons
and how it's hard for her to trust
anyone to be
able to talk
about them. The book is set in an
era where crazy was looked upon as
an illness. Society and the
standards society sets up for people also plays a huge part.

She's a spunky rebellious girl with a good heart.

I love that she's got her own mind. She doesn't follow the crowd
and for the most part doesn't care what other people think of her.
What do you think she values the most?
Trust, above all things.
If you could describe this novella with one word, what would it
be?
Angsty.
Finally, is this book part of a series?
Just South of Biloxi is the first novella in a two part series, so
yes.
