Stunning New Novel Explores Middle-Aged Love in the South

Beyond September by George L. Vickery tackles the surprise of midlife love in his gripping new fiction novel.

Georgetown, SC (PRWEB) March 27, 2008 -- Beyond September by George L. Vickery is an engrossing Southern-accented novel about the repercussions of an unlikely middle-aged love affair.

The pleasures and pains of last-chance love come front and center in Beyond September, the tender and funny novel by this first-time novelist. When Jordan Bennett retires to Key Largo, he never expects love to wayside him. But then he meets a South Carolina widow and they both seem headed for happily ever after. Love, though, doesn't conquer all, and before they can say shrimp 'n grits, the two lovers face blackmail, a brutal beating, and relentless intrigue.

Touching and triumphant, Beyond September is a valentine to older love and a richly textured exploration of the not-so-genteel South.

"The prose is poetry and the poetry sings. An interesting, logical and tender plot. It's good--beyond good."--John Softness, professor of creative writing at the University of Miami School of Communications

"Pick it up, start to read it, and try to put it down. I dare you."--Bill Boone, syndicated radio talk show host

Vickery has devised an unusual plan he calls "The April Fool Caper." He has organized all of his friends--and their friends--to buy the book April 1 on Amazon.com to achieve their "Best-Seller" ranking for the day. Judging by the many hits on his Web site, GeorgeLVickery.com, he just might pull it off.
