Kimberly Nixon I wasn't going to write a sequel for Rock Bottom, Tennessee but readers begged for it. They want to know what happened to Ruby after her conviction. It is coming out at the end of February.
Kimberly Nixon I put myself in the genre and setting as much as possible. For Rock Bottom, Tennessee, I wrote on my mother's desk which had been her father's. He influenced one of my main characters. I also play Bluegrass (the book's setting is in Appalachia). Because my mother was the best storyteller about her family, I keep a photo of her close by. She is my inspiration.
Kimberly Nixon For certain, the storytelling part of it. My only limit is my imagination.
Kimberly Nixon I retraced my father's steps on the front line of WWII in Europe. He died when I was 25 and I knew next to nothing about his experience in the war. I have researched and answered that question and have walked in his footsteps. It will be a memoir about my father, what his WWII experience was like and my experience in walking where he fought.
Kimberly Nixon The book that I am publishing answers one big mystery. Did my grandmother really rob a train as I had heard from family members? And if so, how could she do it. It's not the typical "who done it" but I took my questions and made a novel out of it.
