Teresa Nicholas signs
(University Press of MS, hd, 20.00)

After conducting over fifty interviews and combing through over eighty boxes of papers in the archives at the University of Mississippi, many of which had never been seen before, Nicholas provides new perspectives on a Mississippi writer and editor who changed  journalism and redefined what being southern could mean. More than fifty photographs -- some published here for the first time.

Teresa Nicholas was born and raised in Yazoo City. She worked in book publishing in New York City for twenty-five years. In 2011 she published a memoir, Buryin' Daddy: Putting My Lebanese, Catholic, Southern Baptist Childhood to Rest, which was nominated by the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters for its nonfiction award.

6 pm, Thursday, March 10 - Off Square


Steve Yates signs
(Dock Street Press,pb. 17.00)

Arranging his characters intimately against the vast Ozark Mountains, Yates moves flawlessly between the lives of Sandy Coker and Wayne Sheridan to the road crews reshaping the land. From their harbored ambitions to the secret that threatens to pull their lost hearts apart, this beautifully written novella tells a story of worlds colliding, of truths and consequences, as two people fall in love, reluctant to change with the world around them.

"Sandy and Wayne  is tremendous, a taut, tense, magisterial work that has all the concision and sharpness of a great short story, all of the texture and detail of an engrossing novel...." -Lauren Groff, author of  Fates and Furies

 Yates is assistant director/marketing director at University Press of Mississippi.
