Alan Huffman is an author and journalist from Bolton, Mississippi. He is the author of five nonfiction books: Mississippi in Africa explores two parallel universes: The U.S. state of Mississippi and a largely forgotten freed-slave colony by the same name on the west coast of Africa. Ten Point, a photoessay book, illustrates the final days of the wilderness of the Mississippi Delta, the setting for William Faulkner's short story "The Bear". Sultana follows three young soldiers through a series of survival challenges during and after the American Civil War, including their capture and imprisonment, culminating with their surviving the worst maritime disaster in American history. We're with Nobody, co-authored with Michael Rejebian, is about contemporary American politics, focusing on Huffman's and Rejebian's 18 years as opposition researchers, during which they focused on candidates from presidential appointments and congressional representatives down to local school board members.
