Continuing our literary safari with Tom Kealey, I would like to direct your attention to Moorish Girl, the blog of Laila Lalami. She published a book of short stories last year, and her blog has evolved into required reading for all literary-minded web writers. In the old days, first-book authors would drop off the literary map until that next book arrived. Lalami keeps herself rooted in the literary community, publishing great book reviews and breaking literary web scene news every week. I especially appreciated this link to Dan Wickett's amazing Emerging Writers Network. Just surfing through this pile of links gave me enough material to write about for the next three months. This is a sprawling, fascinating community, and you better start reading...
"Dan Wickett continues his litblogger e-panel series with interviews with SD Byrd, Becky Bame, Jeff Bryant, Steven J. McDermott, Clifford Garstang, Katrina Denza, Kristin, Anne Fernald, and Patrick Rapa."
