Perhaps that title should have a question mark at the end: chicklit is growing up? You can almost hear the incredulity in the inflection required for that question. The idea that chicklit ever could grow up seems like a long shot. How can a genre based around the ideas of perpetual youth and indulgence mature?

A Separate Country by Robert Hicks
Review by Carlotta G. Holton
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Robert Hicks’ earlier novel, The Widow of the South, I opened the sequel A Separate Country with great expectations. Set in post-Civil War New Orleans, A Separate Country is a close look at the travesties of war as reflected in the individual, families, and the healing nation as a whole. Hicks’ second novel begins as a promising sequel to his first rich historical drama, following the life and perils of Confederate General John Bell Hood. I was disappointed with this continuing journey.
Deadlines, Not Just for the Published By L.L. McKinney
I am happy to announce that, by the time this article is published, I will only have five days remaining until my self-imposed breather is over. By August 22nd, six whole weeks will have come and gone since I last worked on Swayed. Thankfully, I was able to fill the duration of my break by attending writers group meetings and working on another book, or I would have lost my mind.
