Featured Biographer
- A Biographer's Biographer:
- Hubert H. McAlexander
- by Robert L. Hall
What would you call a person
who has written not one, not two, but three different types of books about
the same southern author, Peter Taylor? I, for one, would say that he
probably knows quite a lot about the subject of his investigations.
Wouldn’t you?

Celebrating Our Culture
- Pecan Trees and
- Secret Family Recipes
- by Lea J. Moore
Upon moving my daughters and myself from the Oregon Coast to the depths of
the South, I swore to my family and friends that I would never let "y'all"
enter into my every day vocabulary. Nearly a year later, not only have I
added that particular contraction, but also "fixin'" and a few other "in"
words indigenous to the Deep South.

Featured Thriller Author
- Dr. William Russo: Modern-Day Nostradamus
or Just Good Guesser?
- by Robert L. Hall
The
new uprising of Middle Eastern extremists is a very sensitive subject,
as well as the fault line along the New Madrid Fault that lies
underneath this section of the south alongside the Mississippi River.
One noted scientist a few years ago predicted that there would be a
calamitous event concerning that fault that very year. It upset
quite a few people! Then, there is the genetic hybridization of
cells that is in the news, as well as the whole subject of the inherent
goodness/evil of mankind in general. All are present happenings or
near future forecasting of events.

Celebrating Our Culture
- Death to Fast Food
- by Susan Guillory
-
- Once I found myself
in one of those fake 1950s diners, seeking some solace in an era that I
sorely regret not being a part of. I’ve always been able to imagine
myself, complete with bouncing ponytail and poodle skirt, sharing a malted
with my beau in a place much like this—one with chrome spinning seats at
the counter, deep vinyl booths, and even a jukebox playing all the classic
rock–n-roll tunes. But this chain restaurant was lacking something.
