WORKS IN PROGRESS: Reply All (literary women's fiction, 70,000 words): Twenty-something bluegrass musician Vivi Reilly is almost the best dobro player in Nashville, but something more than her gender is holding her back. One day, after a tough recording session, Vivi stumbles onto an incredible discovery—the man she thought was her biological father isn’t. Thirty years earlier, her mother, Araminta Reilly, daughter of a small-town Mississippi politician, learned a secret about her own identity that propelled her on a drug-and-sex-fueled journey from deep in the Mississippi Delta to New England and back. Now Vivi and Araminta both have to come to terms with Araminta's secret past. So, following in her mother’s footsteps, Vivi takes a continent-spanning roadtrip in search of her three possible fathers and the blues locked in her bluegrass music. Women's fiction with a whiff of chick lit—about mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, family curses and finding your center.
