Southern Fiction Humour

Spanning six decades, from a 1970s rehearsal dinner at a Malibu mansion to a crystal mine wedding in 1990s Sedona, a bachelorette party at a presidential estate in the 2000s, a penthouse ceremony in 2025, and an intergalactic courtroom in 2089, each of Lady Miss' weddings is less about the groom and more about the scheme. Whether she's blackmailing a senator, pitching a reality TV empire to her mother-in-law, or battling a tech billionaire for advertising rights on the moon, Lady Miss always has a plan, and it never goes the way she expects.

For the Temple women, the winds of change are blowing. And if they're not careful, it could sweep them all away. After rising from Temple servant to tea shop owner, Violet finally feels in charge of her destiny. While learning Gullah folk magic from her aging grandmother, she worries much of her cultural heritage will be lost to the grave. Is there enough time for Old Sally to pass down all her special wisdom? Bride-to-be Queenie has never felt younger at heart.

Author and professional storyteller Brooke Cox believes sauces from the Lord are all around us. Don’t be misled; this is not a book about food. For the most part, Cox considers these sauces as the basis for stories that equal fun lessons from God. She says these sauces often leak into our lives in the guise of stories that are equipping us to live, not only in our present, but also in our future. In the book, Saucy Southern Stories, Cox shares the zesty sauces the Lord has generously poured onto her quirky tomboy life.

Not only do Southerners talk slowly, but sometimes the whole language is hard to understand. No one realizes that more than Memphis belle Leelee Satterfield. Watching her tackle life and love in Vermont was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to antics, charades, mischief, and romance. Now that she’s back in Memphis, and starting a new relationship with Peter, the Yankee chef from her New England inn, you’d think she’d sit back and enjoy her newly crafted life back home in Dixie. But that just wouldn’t be as much fun.
