There have been numerous books published by authors from the Clark County area, including James Jones who wrote From Here to Eternity and  The Thin Red Line.  Many other works were also produced at the Handy Writer's Colony where James spent some time, but there are numerous other works by additional authors native to the Marshall area.  A list of those works compiled by the library and the Clark County Historical Society is available here.
