Southern Humour Fiction

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.

When Lady Miss returns to her great-aunt's church in New Orleans to plan the funeral of the beloved Mother Miss Pearline, she discovers that the humble congregation of her youth has been transformed into a megachurch conglomerate run by holograms, subscriptions, and an AI named Earncybot. At the center of it all is the scheming Illuminate Slanders, a woman with five dead husbands, a suspicious will, and a dangerous plan to upload every church member's consciousness into her AI network.

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.

When an ordinary man with a knack for bad luck, finds himself imprisoned in New Zealand on charges of human smuggling, he discovers that truth and justice are little more than stage props in a political farce. His fellow inmates include tattooed Māori warriors, suspicious Israelis, philosophical Muslims, and a Georgian drug lord with tips on beating the system. Somewhere between the chessboard in the prison yard and the sterile absurdity of the courtroom, Senya realizes he is not just fighting for freedom, but stumbling through a theater of cruelty where the script has already been written.

Savannah Blue is a darkly funny, sharply observed Southern coming-of-age novel about loyalty, tradition, and the brutal rites of passage that shape young men long before they understand what they’ve inherited, brought to life in an immersive audio performance narrated by Rachel Simons. At a 120-year-old all-boys Catholic military academy in the South, Harrison and Delli enter their final year caught between fading old-guard traditions and a new culture determined to erase them.
