Hi John - They actually sell bottled water from Monroeville with the idea that the inspiration is in there, but the truth is that all of us were inspired and enlightened by Miss Nelle Harper Lee's classic novel. Donna, sorry but you know more about it than I do. Nathan - let me know if you do. Michelle and Tara, thank you so much for reading and liking the books. Mark C.

Mr. Childress, You may have received this question several times, but it is my understanding several writers came out of the Monroeville, Alabama area. Why do you think this occurred?

Hi. Looking for Childress family ancestors. My Dad was born in Arkansaw, his Dad's name was Silas Childress. Don't have information much further back than that. Let me know if you know of any connection or have suggestions or leads.

I've got to get my wife a e-reader and purchase your newest book. I'm sure she'd love it. Congrats and good luck.

I just grabbed your book at the library and I could'nt put it down. I am on my way out the door to get our other books. Awesome.
