Reviews

""In his debut novel, Gus Nicholson serves up both sacrifice and a secreted Southern scandal--sprinkled like paprika on a deviled egg with bibliophilic bliss, an artist enclave, honky-tonk hideaways, ballgame bookies, sport shooting, and antebellum architecture nestled among cotton fields and live oaks. Hailing from the storied red dirt of the Tennessee Valley to the sugary sand of the Gulf Coast, The Romance Section is an index finger-licking page-turner."" - Dr. Bebe Gish Shaw, Professor of English, Athens State University
