Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you are all having a great week. Today I’m thrilled to share my good friend Liz Faraim’s newest novel Pinned with you. Liz is a phenomenal author who has released the Vivian Chastain series to much acknowledgment. Pinned is the first book in a new series for Liz, and I’m excited to share more details with you today. As with all her books this new novel by Liz is at the top of my to be read list.
As you may remember from Liz’s past visits here on my blog, Liz focuses her writing on strong, queer, female leads who don’t back down. She transplanted to California from New York over thirty years ago, and now lives in the East Bay Area.
You can find Liz here on her website or here on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
Pinned:
“Rowdy” Randy Cox, a woman staring down the barrel of retirement, is a curmudgeonly blue-collar butch lesbian, who has been single for twenty years and is trying to date again.
At the end of a long, exhausting shift, Randy finds her supervisor, Bryant, pinned and near death at the warehouse where they work. Upon the news of his death, she battles to find a balance between the joys of an exciting new relationship and the struggles of processing her supervisor’s unexpected passing.
The manner of her supervisor’s death leaves Randy unsettled and suspicious as she gets sucked into both a criminal investigation led by the police and an administrative investigation conducted by her employer.
As Randy seeks the truth, trust erodes, key friendships are strengthened, and more loss awaits her.
Also, this Saturday April 22nd myself and several authors from the Bay Area Queer Writers Association will be at the Hayward Lit Hop (this is our second year). We will be at The Pizza House, 943 B Street in Hayward from 6pm – 6:45pm you can find out more details here.
That’s it for this week, don’t forget to check out Pinned and if you are in Hayward this Saturday come by and say hello and maybe have some dinner. Until next time, have a great week.
