Rosemary Daniell may be best remembered for her feminist memoir Fatal Flowers: On Sin, Sex & Suicide in the Deep South that was named Book of the Year by Time Magazine. However that doesn’t mean that she hasn’t been very busy since 1980. Daniell has penned numerous other books as well as started Zona Rosa, a writers’ group that meets once a month, both in the city of her birth, Atlanta, and her current home of Savannah. I had the chance to stop in on one of the meetings, in Buckhead to be precise, and see the creative process at work with around 15 women from the local metro area.
