(Lift Every Voice Books/Moody Publishers)

Living in the Pink is a collection of humorous and insightful short stories. They each explore temptations that lead women to straddle the fence on their spiritual journeys.

My characters, for example, wrestle with issues such as adulterous relationships, drug-addicted children, church gossip and jealousy. In short, they’re “living in the pink.”

What does that mean? It’s simply the stage where so many women get stuck between what the Bible calls that “scarlet stain of sin” and striving to become pure or “white as snow.”

They say they believe in God but only enough to call themselves “spiritual” without having to make significant changes in their lives. They want to believe, just not too much.

Laura “Sister Pinky” Pinkston is a central character, a wise “church mother” whose mission is to guide women out of their pinkish state and into God’s light.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Living in the Pink?

Sharon Tubbs: Inspiration comes from my own triumphs and pitfalls in living out my faith and in simply observing the world around me. I see so many Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Sharon Tubbs, author of Living in the Pink →

A twisted game of intrigue proves that six degrees of separation bridge the gap between the sane and the insane.

Alex Carlysle is a savvy homicide detective highly respected among her peers. When her lover becomes the latest victim in a series of brutal murders, the investigation of the killings becomes personal for her and catching the killer could be the break she has been waiting for concerning her career.

Jade abides by a different set of rules. Instead of enforcing the law, she is the thorn in its side. She is a sexy enigma of a serial killer who taunts the police just for the pleasure of it while devouring her prey in the process.

As the hunter becomes the hunted, both women are destined for a massive head-on collision with each other. The thrill of pursuit is not the only tie that binds them; they are also driven by bloodshed and a chain of circumstances that began in the subconscious mind.

Ask Nicely and I Might is a racy thriller filled with sexy suspense; a wicked game of cat and mouse where time is rapidly running out for both the hunter and the hunted.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Ask Nicely and I Might?
