Jo Carolyn Beebe writes historical fiction. Her long time interest in genealogy provides fodder for her writing. At JCCFS Thursday evening the large audience enjoyed excerpts from her most recent young adult manuscript about Willie, a young boy in Mississippi during the War Between the States. With humor and mystery, she enthralled her listeners, and left everyone wanting more.

I'm so glad this was well attended. It was high on my "to do" list but at the last minute I got sick and wasn't able to attend.
ReplyDeleteBravo Karen and Jo Carol.
