Mossy Creek
by Debra Dixon, Sandra Chastain, Deborah Smith, Virginia Ellis, Donna Ball

Welcome to Mossy Creek, where you'll find a friendly face at every window and a heartfelt story behind every door.

We've got a mayor who sees breaking the law as her civic duty and a by-the-books police chief trying to live up to his father's legend. We've got a bittersweet feud at the coffee shop and heartwarming battles on the softball field. We've got a world-weary Santa with a poignant dream and a flying Chihuahua with a streak of bad luck. You'll meet Millicent, who believes in stealing joy, and the outrageous patrons of O'Day's Pub, who believe there's no such thing as an honest game of darts. You'll want to tune your radio to the Bereavement Report and prop your feet up at Mama's All You Can Eat Café. While you're there, say hello to our local gossip columnist Katie Bell. She'll make you feel like one of the family and tell you a story that will make you laugh-or smile through your tears. People are like that in Mossy Creek.

Award-winning authors Deborah Smith, Sandra Chastain, Debra Dixon, Virginia Ellis, Nancy Knight and Donna Ball (Sweet Tea and Jesus Shoes) now blend their unique voices in a collective novel about the South, the first in a series set in the fictional mountain town of Mossy Creek, Georgia.

So welcome to Mossy Creek, the town that insists it "Ain't going nowhere and don't want to." Welcome home.
