Charlsie Russell writes American historical genre fiction set in Mississippi, and she is eager to share the results of her research developed in crafting her novels. Every state in the Union has an equally rich and unique history, which made it what it is today. For those of you interested in writing about your native state, the home you're proud of, do so. Afterall, now that you're thinking about "going it alone" the only person you have to please with your choice of setting and subject matter is yourself (and let's hope you'll please a readership, too).
For those of you interested in Mississippi and/or Southern history, please peruse my articles listed below. I've included bibliographical information for further research if you desire to study the subject matter further. As always, please contact me if you have questions, comments, or feel you can add something to my efforts.
Thanks for stopping in,
Charlsie Russell
