Stories from the Front Porch

By: Case, John S.

"The front porch of a home in the Deep South is the ideal forum for perfecting the art of storytelling. Writer John S. Case comes from that oral tradition, telling immensely enjoyable stories inspired by tales told by his elders on the Mississippi porches of his childhood. The characters he introduces may be flawed, even outrageous, but Case treats them with respect, writing with grace and wry wit. Reading a story by John S. Case is as refreshing as an evening stroll down a country lane."

David Sheffield, "Coming to America', "Saturday Night Live"

Stories from the Front Porch is the third collection of short stories published by author John S. Case. The stories come from insights he inherited living in a rural Mississippi community where storytelling was an art, and most likely the main source of entertainment.

John was raised in the small crossroads village of Bogue Chitto, Mississippi, but attended school in the larger town of Brookhaven. His life experiences are both rural and urban. He is a graduate of the University of Mississippi. John and his wife, Brenda Lowry, are Independent Insurance Agents

now residing in Slidell, Louisiana. He has received numerous awards for his monthly contributions as "The Storyteller" in Slidell Magazine.
