Friday Fiction Fun Day
What are you reading this weekend?
I'm reading
I 'm reading Heavens to Besty. I'm in Chapter three, but what I can tell so far is that Beth Patillo is a pretty mature writer. The novel is about a woman pastor, who is single and struggling a bit with her romantic circumstance, her position as leader of a church and her own faith. It reads like a christian romantic comedy.
I'm also reading Walter Moseley's Cinna
mon Kiss. If you know anything about me, you know I love detective novels. And I adore Easy Rawlins. In Cinnamon Kiss Easy and Mouse are up to it again. The series is a classic before it hits the shelves. What I love about Moseley's writings is the way he can describe a character pitch perfect in one sentence. What I love most is that he highlights the most beautiful features in all women, irregardless of race, size, or color. I love that!!

The Smile on Happy Chang's Face by Tom Perrotta
It is also featured in 2005 edition of Best American Short Stories. Be warned this story is not Christian fiction. There is profanity in here. It is not for child or young adult audiences to read. But it is a great read for the child at heart. I love the honesty, ebbs and flow of humor, sadness, outrage and redemption in this story. Sometimes I wish I could write in this fresh way without the profanity and inappropriate imagery, of course. Click on the title to read. Thanks Jason Sanford at my favorite lit-journal-StorySouth- for featuring this story at his blog.
I'm also reviewing Kendra Norman-Bellamy's More than Grace for Romantic Times Magazine's April edition. This is the final installment to her Grace series. You'll have to pick up the April edition to get my review of this. But I can tell you it is about her fan favorites, Dr. Gregory and Grace Dixon.So now you know what I'm reading. Now tell me. What are you reading?

I read "Heavens to Betsy" too and really liked it! It's a fun spin on the whole "Chick Lit" phenomenon. I liked getting a peek at the life of a pastor who has to balance the typical single female worries with the demands and rewards of serving her parishoners. The romance moved a little too fast for my taste, but other than that it was great!
thanks, for telling me. i wanted to kick her for beating around the bush about her feelings like she did.
