In this
book the talents of many stand as the product of one.
We
all live lives that are commonplace in many areas, but in the sunlight
of our writing moments we come most alive. These stories are the creations
of those sunlit moments.
Take them, absorb them, enjoy them, and hopefully, learn from them.
-- Jackie
K. Cooper, author of Journey of a Gentle Southern
Man, Chances and Choices, Halfway Home, and the forthcoming
The Book Binder

ABOUT
MUSCADINE LINES
28
Stories and 28 Poems by 28 Writers
Muscadine
Lines is a COLLECTION of short fiction, personal essays, and poems.
Muscadine Lines offers readers the joy of discovering the treasures
of promising new voices, as well as seasoned veterans.
This book is a gathering of stories and poems that epitomize the qualities
readers treasure in the best Southern literature—a rich appreciation
of language and humor, as well as a dead-on sense of place and character.
These storytellers let their ideas, experiences, and imaginations flow
from their minds to the lines, as they tell of worlds that are fictionally
unique, yet realistically akin to our own.
Alternately
anguished, angry, cheerful, plaintive, and enigmatic, the voices of Muscadine
Lines evoke themes of hope and love, disappointment and despair that
are universal in their resonance.
Writers herein have one thing in common: they all submitted works to the
e-zine Muscadine Lines: A Southern Journal, asouthernjournal.com,
during its first year in operation. Muscadine Lines: A Southern Journal
is a venue for emerging and established writers to publish and/or promote
their work on the Internet.
