"The unraveling of Bebe Jones revolves around the rich and famous Jones family and the people who work for them as they cope through an array of personal dramas. The story begins at the height of the Global Financial Crisis, when 23-year-old Desiree Washington lands a job with her idol, legendary R&B singer Bebe Jones. Desiree quickly discovers that the outwardly perfect Bebe is in fact a troubled and lonely diva reeling from a career in decline and a marriage in tatters, and that behind all the money, glamor and fame, there are skeletons in the family closet"--Author's website.

Out of Now Way, A Poetic Drama, tells the the story of Madam C.J. Walker's rise from poverty to prosperity through the deeply personal lens of an orphan, a wife, a mother, and a black woman who succeeded against all odds. Told via different poetic forms, each chapter addresses an issue relevant to her life at that time. Written against the backdrop of Jim Crow, Out of No Way is ultimately an examination of what W.E.B Dubois called "conflicting identities." Sarah was a proud African American on the one hand and a woman seeking America's acceptance on the other. She was a pauper who achieved the American Dream while denied the rights and protections of the American Constitution. She was a wife, mother, sibling and businesswoman who juggled the demands of family with the demands of career. And she was an orphan who had to transcend a painful childhood in order to be a good mother to her child. As Dubois stated at the time, "One ever feels a two-ness. An American, A Negro...Two warring ideals in one dark body." Indeed Sarah Breedlove/Madam CJ Walker was an American and a Negro, as was her daughter - both of whom likely viewed herself through their own conflicting identities. What did they see?

How the Trigger-Finger of a Man Long Dead Sent Another Man To His Death In this gigantic mystery story, Mr. Keeler has employed atavism in his plot, a thing that has probably never before been attempted in mystery fiction. Starting in pirate days with the bitter enmity between Captain Kidd and Captain Quarlbush whom Kidd marooned on a desert island for mutiny and thus deprived of a share in the spoils, Mr. Keeler conjures up in modern times a descendant of each of them and shows how in a mysterious way Quarlbush was finally avenged. Standing one day before a strange beautiful Chinese cabinet, in which he was seeking some priceless papers, Kidd's descendant falls dead. With many dramatic suspenses, Mr. Keeler tells the story of how Captain Quarlbush, bent upon revenge, secretly built the beautiful Chinese cabinet, which he plotted to fall into Kidd's hands. This is the basis of the primary plot to which are interlaced many other plots in this incomparable book.

It doesn’t get any better than this.” — Susan Elizabeth Phillips From New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews, a wittily seductive tale of divorce, revenge, and great antiques, set in sultry Savannah, Georgia. If you think you know Savannah, think again . . . Landing a catch like Talmadge Evans III encouraged Eloise “Weezie” Foley to buy a gem of a townhouse in Savannah's historic district.

But an unauthorized sneak preview at a sale lands Weezie smack in the middle of magnolia-scented murder, mayhem . . . and more. Dirty deals simmer all around her, just as her relationship with the hottest chef in town heats up and she finds out how delicious love can be the second time around.
