Being raised in the rural South–specifically the piney woods, swamps and sandy beaches of Northwest Florida–informed River Jordan's approach to storytelling. It permeates her work, leading some readers to lump her in the school of magical realism.
"I'm a believer," she said in a phone interview from her current Nashville, Tenn. home, adding that she doesn't support the idea of a supernatural world so much as one alive with the touch of God. "With me, it's always been Nature that's the catalyst. It's heat lightning ... full moons, the sound of owls calling. It pulls us into a place that is magical. It's swimming in the gulf at night and there's phosphorus in the water."
Jordan's stories are grounded by a strong sense of place, from the hurricane scrubbed seaside village in The Gin Girl to the haunted streets of Shibboleth in The Messenger of Magnolia Street. This has contributed to some reviewers labeling her as a "Southern Gothic" author, but Jordan doesn't think it's a good fit.
