Stateside Tour of Duty provides a fictional account of Mitchell's own experiences during the Vietnam War.

You meet all kinds of people, some you don't want to know and some really great people that you're proud to know." This novel captures the essence of military life, blending anecdotes and real-life events into a compelling narrative.
In contrast, "Where There is Life There is Always Hope" addresses more personal and poignant themes. Inspired by his own family's challenges, Mitchell shared, "I've faced difficult times in my family, and it's always been important to remind my loved ones that as long as you're alive, you have the means to overcome obstacles." This novel, set against the backdrop of the 1980s, follows Jack Curtis and Pete Bailey as they navigate economic challenges and personal loss, echoing the spirit of resilience and hope.
During his interview, Mitchell reflected on his storytelling process, saying, "To produce a book you really like, you've got to write it yourself. I really enjoyed writing these books and hope people can enjoy reading them." His passion for storytelling and commitment to addressing important themes resonated deeply with festival attendees.
The festival provided an excellent platform for Mitchell to connect with readers gaining deeper insights into his creative process and the inspirations behind his works. The book signing sessions allowed readers to connect personally with Mitchell, leaving with autographed copies and a profound appreciation for his storytelling.
