Virginia author Sharyn McCrumb lives less than a hundred miles from where her family settled in 1790. She attributes her gift for storytelling to her great-grandfathers, who were circuit preachers in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains a hundred years ago. Through her ballad series, Ms. McCrumb passes along the legends, stories, songs and traditions of Appalachia – giving the world a sense of place.
“Not many magazines and very few book publishers can afford to devote much time, energy, and expertise to editing these days. We feel that’s one thing that sets us (at The Southern Review) apart: a careful, affectionate attention to work we admire and have accepted. Working with authors is one of the chief pleasures of my job, and the vast majority of contributors seem to enjoy the process and appreciate being read closely and appreciatively.” -- Michael Griffith on the subject of writing.
Diane Vogt successfully uses a contemporary blending of colorful Tampa flavors with a judicial touch to keep you one step behind the guilty. M. Diane Vogt’s third novel Gasparilla Gold is due out late this year. It continues with the Judge Willa Carson series. Diane’s writing triumphs, when picking up on all the flavors and settings as she walks us around the Tampa area so uniquely - you feel as if you are a part of the blend that has been captured by her love of the city.
