Women's Fiction/Short Stories
What She Was Saying
By Marjorie Maddox
Publisher: Fomite
ASIN: B06XBGPLTG
Genre: Fiction, Short Stories, Women's Fiction, Literary Fiction
Formats Available For Review: Print (limited quantities, only available to qualified reviewers/bloggers in the U.S.)
In these powerful stories, What She Was Saying softens the already thin line between hope and hopelessness, between perseverance and despair, between what can and cannot be said. Throughout the collection, diverse women startle, question, comfort, and proclaim, compelling readers to confront a company of others: a young woman who mistakes a Jehovah's Witness for her therapist; a mother who shields an ill daughter; an elderly artist who sculpts her adopted family; a daughter of an itinerant preacher who plays her role; a lonely copy editor who fakes bruises; and—in front of many witnesses—a parachutist who jumps to her death. This collection also echoes the historical and literary voices of Rachel Robinson, Nora's daughter in A Doll's House, the wives of famous men named Peter, Lot's daughters, and soldiers Jessica Lynch and Lynndie England. You will hear voices raised in prayer, lowered to whispers, slowed by fear, and silenced by anger. A finalist for the Katherine Anne Porter and Eludia book awards—as well as a semifinalist for Black Lawrence Press's Hudson, Eastern Washington University's Spokane, and Leapfrog Press's book prizes—What She Was Saying gives voice to the lives we all need to hear.

Desdemona, a pianist in the Austin life-music scene, is channel-surfing when she stumbles upon the program Marriage Exposure.

Her life is wrecked! If her friends, family and colleagues haven't seen the interview yet, they will.
How do you survive a scandal like this? How did he know she faked? And why is it that in the bedroom, Desdemona never, ever gets lucky?
The lovable, creative and quirky heroine tackles these challenges. As Desdemona tries to run damage control on her reputation, she begins to explore her sexuality.

As the daughter of missionaries, Josie feels torn between their beliefs and the need to choose for herself.

Genre: Contemporary fiction, women's fiction, new adult
Formats Available For Review: Kindle
A multi-generational story about the power of secrets and the unbreakable bonds of family.
A Long Thaw is about two female cousins who were close as children and reconnect as adults. Abby and Juliet were born into one big, close, Catholic family. But the divorce of Juliet's parents fragments this family and sends the girls in very different directions.
Juliet grows up too quickly, on the west coast, forced to be responsible for her younger sisters as well as an alcoholic, single mother. On the east coast, Abby grows up a pampered, sheltered only child. As women, they try to mend the rift and come to terms with the way their shared history connects them in spite of the years apart.
This book has been published traditionally and I'm re-releasing it on my own.

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Contemporary Women's Fiction
She's just discovered she's pregnant. He's just traded in his essential car for a motorbike. Cue secrets, and a roller-coaster journey of discovery…
Jen's partner Michael has never been in a relationship for more than four years, so with their fourth anniversary coming up, she's getting understandably nervous. Especially as she's just discovered she's going to have a baby. For Jen, it's a dream come true and the happiest of accidents. But Michael has always said he doesn't want any more children other than Kyle, his teenage son.
She means to tell him about the baby straight away, but that's when he turns up on the motorbike, full of dreams of the two of them riding through the Pyrenees on a care-free trip of a life time. Somehow, Jen ends up keeping her news about the baby to herself. Is Michael having an early mid-life crisis?
Determined to save her relationship, Jen decides to take some drastic action. Aided and abetted by her two very different best friends, Jen embarks on some detective work that takes her as far afield as Cuba and North Norfolk. If she can find out why all Michael's other relationships failed, maybe she can stop the same thing from happening to her.
But, as her pregnancy clock ticks, Jen has no idea of the can of worms her investigations are going to open up. Why do all Michael's relationships break up, and what's the big secret he's been hiding from her?
For Hannah, With Love was previously published under the title of Taming Tom Jones.
