A can't miss session with Phyllis R. Dixon (A Taste for More), Jen Fawkes (Daughters of Chaos), & Margot Livesey (The Road from Belhaven).
Phyllis R. Dixon is the author of the novels Forty Acres, Down Home Blues, and Intermission. In her new novel A Taste for More, a breathtaking saga spanning the Jim Crow South in rural midcentury Mississippi through the transformative 1970s, a single mother and culinary genius builds an unprecedented empire. But the one dream she can’t stop chasing may cost her everything…
Little Rock resident Jen Fawkes is the author of Mannequin and Wife, a 2020 Shirley Jackson Award Nominee, Foreword INDIES gold medalist, and winner of the 2023 Phillip H. McMath Book Award. The queer feminist fantasy Daughters of Chaos is an epic, genre-bending historical novel about a Union spy in Civil War–era Nashville who discovers a secret society of “public women” spanning millennia.
Author of nine novels, Margot Livesey grew up in the Scottish Highlands and has taught in several writing programs. The Road from Belhaven follows Lizzie Craig, who is growing up in the care of her grandparents on Belhaven Farm in 1880s Scotland. She discovers that she can see into the future—but she cannot choose what she sees, and she can never change it.
