Book Description
The year is 1862, and the Civil War rages through the South. On a Virginia tobacco plantation, another kind of battle soon begins. "A fascinating and gripping novel about the Civil War. The slave, Cassius Howard, is a great fictional character, and his story is part mystery, part love story, and a harrowing portrait of slavery that reads with the immense power of the slave narratives." --Pat Conroy, author of Beach Music and South of Broad "David Fuller vividly and movingly describes the life of Cassius, a slave on a Virginia tobacco plantation. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, Sweetsmoke resonates with unforgettable characters, and is a gripping story of loss and survival." --Robert Hicks, author of The Widow of the South "Fuller works hard to give us a mid-19th century world that feels authentic, from small details . . . to the larger sprawl of the plantation . . . captivating." --The New York Times Book Review "The plot unfolds at a brisk pace, and Fuller does an especially good job with the battle scenes . . . Cassius, who has never drawn a single breath as a free man, is a compelling character from the start. Sweetsmoke is a well-imagined and researched novel of survival and courage." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Featuring slave traders, smugglers and spies, the novel transports us to a chilling milieu in which human beings are humiliated, and the slaves have a forlorn hope of freedom, decency and dignity . . . Sweetsmoke haunts us long after the final page is turned." --Tennessean.com

Book Description
Jack may have lost in love, but as Jill he might just have a shot at new love in the desert… When Jack’s girlfriend Aimee ends their two-year relationship because he isn’t strong or manly enough for her in her eyes, it’s a devastating blow to his self-esteem. Instead of wallowing in his sadness, he picks himself up and catches a flight to sunny Palm Springs, where he hopes some desert hiking might clear his mind, help him heal, and toughen him up. But Jack gets more than he bargained for from his trip: He takes a nap in a strange cave on a trail and wakes up disoriented and in the body of a woman, with a beautiful paramedic, Lisa, fussing over his (now her) health. Confused and scared, he gives his name as Jill and accepts her invitation to come home with her until he knows what’s going on. Jack soon discovers that Lisa is into women, and in his new body as Jill he’s exactly her type… the two of them are irresistibly drawn to one another, and once Lisa shows Jill everything she and her sexy little desert town have to offer, Jill might be faced with the most difficult decision of her life: Does she even want to go back to being Jack?
