The Sand Mountain Lit Chicks

In the Fall Season of 2005, a Small Writing Group of Southern Ladies from the Sand Mountain area in Northern Alabama rekindled friendships, getting together to form a Literary Support Group. Some of them had been meeting for years prior to this get-to-gether. Now it was time for them to share on a more regular routine. So these 5 Southern Authors - Gay Martin, a well-known, well-established Food and Travel Author; Shirley Mitchell, an Author who not only writes about making the most of Life at Any Age, but one who lives out her words; Alice Duckett, formerly from Albertville, now living in Anniston, has written for several newspapers, including The Gadsden Times; Barbara Eubanks, a Christian Humor Author who blends devotions with humor, and Lori Boatfield, a talented essayist and a great future novelist, bring a plethora of ideas and interesting pieces of writing to each meeting. They have found great strength and encouragement for their individual literary endeavors, and development for our talents by listening to and sharing with each other. Rotating the site of their meetings among the homes of the members, we not only look forward to being sounding-boards for each others work-in-progress, but we delight in and look forward to the great refreshments (which now have evolved into full gourmet meals) the hostess provides.
