The author, Nita Faye Jones 1950s
“Her father was a Pentecostal minister who never told a lie in his life. Until he did. And it was so big, it stayed with the family forever.”
“The Only Lie” is my first appearance in Salvation South, a fascinating online magazine celebrating all things Southern, the people, the music, food, culture, stories, poetry and more. I’m pleased to be one of the writers featured there.
My new story is available to read online now and it’s free. It’s from my book in progress. “Musical Houses” (working title) is a collection of stories and essays. It follows many of the characters from the book, “The Glory Road: A Gospel Gypsy Life”and introduces new ones. Many are part of the musical migration from the Deep South to Southern California in the 1950s.
