 Dixon
Hearne
lives in southern
California,
though his writing draws greatly
from the rich images in his daily
life growing up along the graceful
river traces and bayous in
West Monroe,
Louisiana.
After many years of writing for
research journals, his interests
turned toward fiction—and the
challenge of writing in a different
voice.
He is
the author of a new short story collection,
Plantatia: High-toned and
Lowdown Stories of the South
(Southeast Missouri University Press),
editor of a new book,
Thanksgiving to Christmas:
A Patchwork of Stories,
and co-editor of two recent anthologies of
southern fiction. His stories, many of which
have earned awards, can be found in
Mature Living, Louisiana Literature, Cream City
Review, Wisconsin Review,
and many other magazines, literary journals and
anthologies.
New work includes
stories in
Christmas Traditions
and
Woodstock Revisited—both
from Adams Media, 2009.
Dixon is currently at work on a novel and
another short story collection. He is an invited
speaker at the 2009 Louisiana Book Festival and
other events.
