Come sit on the porch a spell. Let's talk about times gone by and folks we remember, about slow summer evenings and lightning bugs in a jar. Listen to the music of a creaky swing and hand-cranked ice cream and cicadas chorusing in the sultry night air.

Welcome to the world of Sweet Tea and Jesus Shoes, where award winning authors Deborah Smith, Sandra Chastain, Virginia Ellis, Debra Dixon, Donna Ball and Nancy Knight come together for the first time to create this poignant, humorous collection of nostalgic tales.

Im Normalfall entsteht ein Buch im Kopf des Autors. Da ist plötzlich diese Idee... Sie führt zum Pitch, zum Plot, zur Geschichte. Aber was passiert, wenn die Initialzündung nicht vom Schreiber, sondern vom Leser kommt. Dieser Challenge hat sich Fanny Bechert gestellt. Ein Jahr lang durfte ihre Community jeden Monat Einfluss auf eine Kurzgeschichte nehmen und die Autorin aktiv herausfordern, an ihre kreative Grenze zu gehen. Das Ergebnis ist eine bunte Mischung romantischer, spannender und lustiger Geschichten, die nur selten so verlaufen, wie es sich die Community vorgestellt hat.

These kids are crazy, and crazy kids mean crazy stories.

"Salades" propose sous forme d'abécédaire la recette de l'auteur : une solide pincée de distanciation humoristique, un nuage de nostalgie, un regard bienveillant sur l'enfance mais goguenard sur les adultes, un zeste de poésie dilettante. À chaque lettre de l'alphabet un mot-clé, autour duquel l'auteur développe ses "salades", sous forme de textes courts : chroniques, nouvelles, essais... Dans cet abécédaire éclectique et badin, un dénominateur commun est proposé au lecteur : le sourire.
