Abstract:
Jan Karon brought to life the imaginary mountain town of Mitford in nine novels. The town is based on Blowing Rock, where Karon lived while she wrote most of the books. The story lines follow the central character, Father Tim Kavanagh, an Episcopalian priest who ministers to his mountain parish. Martin describes Karon's struggles to write the first book and how it found a place with a New York publisher. Although the Mitford series is complete, Karon will continue the Father Tim character through three more novels in new locales.
