I need sources!

[Sabrina]

Hi! I'm starting to write a story based in Kentucky. I've never been, never known anyone from there, and I need information. I need the history, the difference in culture between the regions, their common actions, events, mannerisms, sayings, etc.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew a few good sites for that? Or if anyone was from Kentucky themselves or had written something based there and wouldn't mind answering some of my questions.

Thanks in advance
Alexis

Hello Alexis,
I have an author friend who lives in Kentucky and writes about it, as well, in her books. Her name is Joyce E. Bowling. She's a real sweetheart and I'm sure she would be glad to help.

Her Books:
Kentucky...The Mountains I Call Home
Faces from the Mountains
A Path of Stitches

I'd say research it with books, then when you've narrowed down where you want to tell your story, go to that place and spend some time.
