OK. I know. Yet another friend I'm writing about with a book about to be published. It's just the publishing cycle.Fiona Zedde's novel, A Taste of Sin, will be out next week officially, though if you go on Amazon or visit your local bookstore you can probably get a copy right now.
Fiona is not only a friend, but a labelmate, whose work is published by Kensington as well. She, like me, lucked out our first time out being picked up by an agent and a major publisher. Fiona's first novel, Bliss, released in July 2005. Fiona's a very productive author. Both her novels delve into the lives of black women who like women and men, and take place in domestic and international locations.
I met Fiona last year at Atlanta's Black Pride, during the L-O-N-G literary event where writers and authors should have honored the 5-minute reading rule, but many seemed to go a lot longer than that. She and Rashid Darden and I often laugh about that multi-hour experience. It was our first book touring and pride season. We were gracious and grateful for the experience for sure... and wouldn't trade a thing.
Fiona's about to start a MFA program in fiction/creative writing in Southern California, and will be relocating from Atlanta. Now, we'll be neighbors. There's no place like SoCali. Yay.
