Jamie Kornegay and his wife opened TurnRow Books in Greenwood, Mississippi, in 2006. Since then, they've stocked the shelves with a continuous supply of Southern and Mississippi Delta literature, from fiction to cookbooks, memoirs and children's books. This month, Kornegay can add his own debut novel Soil to the collection. We interviewed him recently about the book, the writers who've influenced him and also asked him about the next wave of Mississippi writers whose books he'd excited to promote. Listed below, these writers all have connections to the state, whether being born there or having attended or taught at Ole Miss. Their books, including several signed copies, can be found at TurnRow and online here.   The Southern Cross by Skip Horack  Citrus County by John Brandon The Resurrectionist by Matthew Guinn Rivers by Michael Farris Smith Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward The Teeth Of The Souls by Steve Yates  The Story Of Land And Sea by Katy Simpson Smith  The Three-Day Affair by Michael Kardos My Sunshine Away by M.O.
