Porch Swing Stories

About the Book

Porch Swing Stories is a history of both a family and a community. Drawn from the reminiscences of J.T. McPherson's elderly aunts, these stories are set in Ringgold, Mississippi, a fictional town quickly fading into the past. Here are collected stories of melodrama, tragedy, romance, and even slapstick humor. Together they paint a picture of a South that never was, but should have been.

About the Author

R.A. Moulds was born in Maryland in 1958, but his family was originally from Mississippi. Thus, he can do a fair imitation of Aunt Eulalie, and she has been presented at various readings in the Baltimore area. Mr. Moulds studied musicology and composition at the University of Southern Mississippi, and currently lives in Baltimore. Porch Swing Stories is his first book, and he is working on another novel set in his home state.
