Breaking Jaie by S. RenÃ©e Bess
ISBN 978-1-932300-84-0. $ 15.95. 208 pages

Twenty-eight-year-old Ph.D. candidate, Jaie Baxter, is supremely confident about three things: She will become a noted writer. She’ll win the prestigious Adamson Prize. And she can have any woman who grabs her attention.

But Jaieâ€™s arrogance begins to slip away the day she meets Terez Overton, a woman whose ethnicity matches hers, but whose background is the exact opposite. And then Jaieâ€™s confidence vanishes completely with the arrival of a scheming ex-lover, Seneca Wilson, who is armed with the nightmarish recollections of an unsolved murder and threatens to hold all of Jaieâ€™s future happiness hostage. How will Jaie deal with her pastâ€™s truths and their spirit-breaking power?

Close Enough by Jane Vollbrecht
ISBN 978-1-932300-85-7. $ 19.95. 288 pages

It’s 1942, and nineteen-year-old Hilda Stenkiewicz has a secret: she’s given birth to an illegitimate child. Ashamed and overwhelmed, Hilda turns to her older brother, Martin, for help. On his advice, she gives her baby to Martin’s Army buddy and his wife, who are strangers to her. Hilda, heartbroken and devastated, leaves her hometown in northern Pennsylvania to
start anew. She forges a bond with Elaine Huebner, the landlady at her boarding house, and soon, their friendship blossoms into a much deeper relationship. With Elaine’s help, Hilda tries to put her past behind her, but she can never forget the baby she surrendered. Frannie Brewster knows she’s adopted but believes her birth mother abandoned her in an Alabama truck stop. Though gifted in academics and athletics, Frannie struggles with her identity – including her attraction to women at college and in the Women’s Army Corps. After a long separation, Frannie is reunited with the lover she thought was lost to her forever. They discover that they share a similar heartache – one that will shape the rest of their days.

In the mid-1980’s, before the convenience of cell phones and the Internet, and with few clues to guide them, Hilda and Frannie go searching for the missing pieces of their respective lives. They draw ever closer to finding one another, but can they get Close Enough?

Redress of Grievances by Brenda Adcock
ISBN 978-1-932300-86-4 $ 19.95 284 pages

In the first of a series of psychological thrillers, Harriett Markham is a defense attorney in Austin, Texas, who lost everything eleven years earlier. She had been an associate with a Dallas firm and involved in an affair with a senior partner, Alexis Dunne. Harriett represented a
rape/murder client named Jared Wilkes and got the charges dismissed on a technicality. When Wilkes committed a rape and murder after his release, Harriett was devastated. She resigned and moved to Austin, leaving everything behind, including her lover.

Despite lingering feelings for Alexis, Harriet becomes involved with a sex-offense investigator, Jessie Rains, a woman struggling with secrets of her own. Harriet thinks she might finally be happy, but then Alexis re-enters her life. She refers a case of multiple homicide allegedly
committed by Sharon Taggart, a woman with no motive for the crimes. Harriett is creeped out by the brutal murders, but reluctantly agrees to handle the defense.

As Harriett’s team prepares for trial, disturbing information comes to light. Sharon denies any involvement in the crimes, but the evidence against her seems overwhelming. Harriett is plunged into a case rife with twisty psychological motives, questionable sanity, and a client with a complex and disturbing life. Is she guilty or not? And will Harriet’s legal defense
bring about justice -or another Wilkes case?

It’s been a year and a half since BGCFA sold. What have I done since then, writing wise? Diddlysquat.

I am quite motivated recently, though, and have been writing. Cutting and pasteing is a better term for it but writing sounds better. I’m working on BG3 (tentatively called Butch Girls and Stereotypes) and I hope to get it done soon. I totally missed my personal deadline but Real Life had the damn nerve to intrude.

Simple Sarah has been beta read by two intelligent women who, while they say the absolutely loved it, think it ended in a very stupid place. We were supposed to meet for a baseball game and I’d get the manuscript back (they printed it out and used two different colored pens) but, again, Real Life happened.

I wrote an essay for possible submission to an anthology titled Women. Period. (An Anthology of Women Writing for and About Menstruation; Edited by Parneshia Jones, Jo Ruby, Elizabeth Slade and Julia Watts) I like how it turned out and need to show it to Lorna for her okeedokee before I bother to edit it.

I also have an essay of sorts and some recipes (yes, food recipes) that has been accepted for an upcoming book titled Butch Cook Book. THE Lee Lynch is the author/editor/whatever of it. If everything goes as planned, they will also be using some lines from BGCFA, which I think is cool. I don’t know the progress of the book and the fer shurness of my inclusion in it. Either way, just to be accepted by THE Lee Lynch (and the other womyn working on the book with her) is a big ego boost.
