Sharon Tubbs, author of Living in the Pink
(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.

Lesa Jones, author of Vexed
(La Femme Fatale)

The biggest problem women face in relationships is knowing when to hold on and when to let go. In some cases, there’s nothing left to hold on to. Vexed explores the lives of three women in three different stereotypical relationships: the loser, the abuser and the baller.

How much is enough to make a woman finally see the light and recognize that she is worthy of so much more? Will it be Alisha, Jennifer or Trustine that will walk away?

What would you do? Would you leave or would you stay?

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Vexed?

Lesa Jones: Vexed was based on woman that has been abused. I grew up in an abused home and witnessed what my mom went through and how my Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Lesa Jones, author of Vexed →
