If you haven’t explored chapbooks, I highly recommend “maybe this is what I deserve” by Tucker Leighty-Phillips. Tucker’s stories evoke, they conjure, they stir. They get etched into memory.

Tucker is at the beginning of his writing. His first collection “maybe this is what I deserve,” is the first of what I hope will be many books to come. Check it out!

#book #SouthernFiction Marked this to read: "Call Your Daughter Home" by Deb Spera.

Book description: A stunning tour de force following three fierce, unforgettable Southern women in the years leading up to the Great Depression It's 1924 South Carolina and the region is still recovering from the infamous boll weevil infestation that devastated the land and the economy. Gertrude, a mother of four, must make an unconscionable decision to save her daughters from starvation or die at the hands of an abusive husband. Retta is navigating a harsh world as a first-generation freed slave, still employed by the Coles, influential plantation proprietors who once owned her family. Annie is the matriarch of the Coles family and must come to terms with the terrible truth that has ripped her family apart.These three women seemingly have nothing in common, yet as they unite to stand up to the terrible injustices that have long plagued the small town, they find strength in the bond that ties women together. Told in the pitch-perfect voices of Gertrude, Retta and Annie, Call Your Daughter Home is an audacious, timeless story about the power of family, deep-buried secrets and the ferocity of motherhood.

This book is available in the Bookshare collection.

My new novel is out in the world. Margaret Renkl calls EVERYBODY KNOWS “a laugh-out-loud post-apocalyptic satire,” and adds, “Come for an unforgettable cast of ne’er-do-wells, hard-luck prophets, and lovelorn writers; stay for what they tell us about who we are in this teetering moment.” #satiricalfiction #southernfiction #speculativefiction

Hey Y'all!

Mastodon has been great. I've had the chance to really interact. I didn't achieve what I'd hoped with #NaNoWriMo BUT I did get more going than I had before, so I consider that a win. Please keep posting - I love meeting you and learning from you. I hope I have something to offer you as well ❤️ 📚 ✏️ 🖋️ ⌨️
