Greetings from Katherine Press!
Spring has almost sprung! Although, in much of the country, it feels like winter never totally arrived. Nonetheless, we're definitely looking forward to warmer weather and chances to spend lazy summer afternoons enjoying some great chick lit!
In the meantime, we've got the March issue of the Katherine Press Review to keep you going through the last the winter has to throw at us. Many of you probably remember Isadora Gruye's haunting, funny, and sexy "3C". It's a lovely story, and one that we got a lot of feed back about, so it should probably come as no surprise that Ms. Gruye's poems are equally beautiful. This month, we have "Text Message #4", "Sailor's Girl", and "Letter to My Mother's Neurosurgeon" for you to enjoy. Even if you don't generaly like poetry, we think you'll find these clever, charming, sad and amusing poems enjoyable.
In addition, we have Staci Backauskas' "Life & Death". Widowed Melba Burbank tries not to feel sorry for herself after the sudden death of her son; it's not easy, though, when she's had to move away from her beloved house and live much more frugally. The last straw seems to be when her car just suddenly quits on her. But the kindness of a stranger reminds her why suffering can sometimes be a blessing and why she still has more than enough to live for.
And last--but certainly not least--we have "Dinner" by Brandi Derr. Mo has agreed to pretend to be nothing more than C's friend at C's family's monthly dinners. But with the family getting suspicious that there is more going on than the women will admit and with Mo feeling pushed to the side in her lover's life, it may not be just the pasta that boils over.
We've also got exciting things coming up in the next couple of months including our first novel, The Last Bridesmaid by Inga Gardner, and the first in the PMS Investigators series by Amber Gillet, A Family Affair. We always love hearing from you, our readers, too, so make sure to visit our Facebook page or our website to let us know what you think of our stories and what you'd like to see more of. If you missed any of the stories in our February edition or if you just want to read one of our stories again, you've still got time! A list of February's contents can be found on our homepage.
We hope you all have had a great winter and that your spring is just as great!
Sincerely,
Emily Lahut
