Kathi Kamen Goldmark''s first novel, And My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You, earned praise from an assortment of well-known authors including Amy Tan, Maya Angelou, Scott Turow, Judy Collins, Rita Mae Brown, Carl Hiaasen, and Roddy Doyle; and received positive reviews in O, the Oprah Magazine, the Miami Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle, and other publications.

In the end, Otis Ray learns what it means to be an adult, Arizona discovers the life she wants, and they both figure out the true meaning of love and family.

he Fourth of July isn''t going at all as Kim Claypoole expected. It starts with a bang, including a run-in with a dead body, and ends with her juvenile delinquent nephew, Little Bucky, disappearing from her double-wide trailer on a souped up Suzuki. When Little Bucky fails to return and no one seems concerned but Claypoole, she sets out to find her wayward nephew. Nothing ever goes easy for Claypoole, and her investigation soon involves several trips to Krispy Kreme, a visit to Jesus Our Savior Bible Camp and some nasty encounters with a series of backwoods characters, including hillbilly counterfeiters and a major league Smoky Mountain dope dealer. In the midst of this chaos and while Claypoole is desperately trying to keep a rocky romance on track, her kooky mother and redneck cousin Alonzo show up for a surprise visit. Relatives, murder and love-all ingredients in a recipe for Deep Trouble.

FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDThis sumptuous oral biography of Eugene Walter, the best-known man you''ve never heard of, is an eyewitness history of the heart of the last century-enlivened with personal glimpses of luminaries from William Faulkner and Martha Graham to Judy Garland and Leontyne Price-and a pitch-perfect addition to the Southern literary tradition that has critics cheering. In his 76 years, Eugene Walter ate of "the ripened heart of life," to quote a letter from Isak Dinesen, one of his many illustrious friends. Walter savored the porch life of his native Mobile, Alabama, in the the l920s and ''30s; stumbled into the Greenwich Village art scene in late-1940s New York; was a ubiquitous presence in Paris''s expatriate café society in the 1950s (where he was part of the Paris Review at its inception); and later, in 1960s Rome, participated in the golden age of Italian cinema. He was somehow everywhere, bringing with him a unique and contagious spirit, putting his inimitable stamp on the cultural life of the twentieth century."Katherine Clark...has edited Eugene Walter''s oral history into a book as amazing as the man himself." JONATHAN YARDLEY, WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD "Milking the Moon has perfect pitch and flawlessly captures Eugene''s pixilated wonderland of a life.... I love this book-and I couldn''t put it down."PAT CONROY "Surprising and serendipitous."NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW "Anecdotes so frothy they ought to be served with a paper parasol over crushed ice."PEOPLE "A rare literary treat...the temptation is to wolf it down all at once, but it''s much more satisfying to take your sweet time. The most unique oral history of the mid-twentieth century."TIMES-PICAYUNE (NEW ORLEANS) "An exceptionally fun read."ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
