Sweet Tea and Afternoon Tales

Read Ed's story "The Bicycle" in Sweet Tea and Afternoon Tales: More Stories from the South, edited by Philip L. Levin and Dixon Hearne, coming soon from AWOC.COM press. You can order this book from the Gulf Coast Writer's Assocation website.

From the book jacket:
"If there is one immutable feature in the social fabric of the American South, it is the telling of stories; giving a sense of place, traditions, family relationships, desires and hope. It has given rise to a unique blend of voices in American Literature, an entire school of writing, rich and diverse, with its own peculiar imagery, grace, and eloquence. It is a place where the simple and the quaint rise from mere words on a page to a level of art."

More details about this anthology—including where to purchase the book and information about readings and events—will be available soon from this website.
