Malena Lott, author of Life’s a Beach
(Buzz Books USA)

Karma and the Law of Attraction meet at the beach in sunny Mexico in this humorous novella from Malena Lott. Georgia, 40, is on her second honeymoon, hoping to reignite the spark in her marriage, but something feels off.

Avery is a twenty-something receptionist on her first vacation with her older boyfriend. She wants nothing more than a marriage proposal, but the romantic vacay is turning into anything but.

The women’s paths cross in madcap ways as they discover that what brought them together could change the course of their lives.

Carol Fenner, author of Running and Dancing
(Red Phoenix Books)

Two African-American girls grow into teenagers at the turn of the 20th century (1916-1917). The times are much different from they are today. The older girl’s sister fled the United States to find fame and fortune in another country, like Josephine Baker.

She left behind a daughter, and the two girls (one is the other’s niece) each experience different coming of age adventures, according to their temperaments. Bertine, eldest of the pair, is a runner, like her sister. But Alma is a different sort of girl – one who enjoys the dance of life right where she is.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Running and Dancing?

Carol Fenner: My aunt (Carol Fenner) drew her information from our family. She (caucasian) was married to my uncle (African-American), and Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Carol Fenner, author of Running and Dancing →
