Produktbeschreibung

The Fountain, a novella by Michael Kelley set against the backdrop of political turmoil that readers will find familiar, describes the discovery by a middle-age couple that eternal youth can have a downside. James and Peg Sanders had not thought much about a family legend dating to the 17th Century, but the legend would eventually become the centerpiece of their lives. The legend linked their fate with a shipload of Africans, led by a charismatic shaman and aided by a sympathetic crew member by the name of James Sanders, who managed to escape confinement from the docks of Charleston, S.C., and avoid a lifetime of slavery. Centuries later, the modern day Sanders couple would have to engineer an escape of their own to avoid capture by overzealous local authorities.

My novel, Tent City, is set in 1960 Mississippi against the backdrop of the voting rights movement. My novella, Fred and June: Journeys, is about a transgender woman and her boyhood friend.
