Apparently, it has. Well, that's what happens when you are working on a new book. The blog takes a back seat... waaaaayyyy in the back. But hey, it's reborn with a new name and a new focus, as of today. Actually, the previous one didn't really have a focus, so I guess I should cross out the word "new." We'll be celebrating the rich literary tradition of Illinois, and yes, much of that will focus on Chicago, but we will give downstate and central Illinois its due as well.
