Jack by Am Homes
Sir John Dewey Fanning (Jack to his familiars) is magistrate in a corner of Oxfordshire plagued by one incident of petty mischief after another. To add to his aggravation, his matchmaking mama is due for a prolonged visit, just when his domestic staff is at sixes and sevens. Jack turns to Miss Madeline Hennessey both to organize his household and to serve as his mother's temporary companion, despite the fact that he's long harbored feelings for the ever-competent (and lovely ) Miss Hennessey. Madeline reluctantly accepts the position, and proximity leads to investigations of an amorous nature. Can Jack stop the crime spree and steal Madeline's heart, too? Contains mature themes.
Born in Chicago and raised mostly on the East Coast, JULIE SPEED dropped out of art school early. After a period of travel and intermittent employment (as a house painter, horse trainer, waitress, stock girl, farmworker, etc.), she landed in Austin in 1978. Since then she has devoted herself full-time to working in her studio and teaching herself to paint. In her words, I keep hours just like a real job, only longer, and in my spare time I read books, drink tequila, garden, and drive around West Texas. In 2006 she decided that just driving around West Texas wasn't enough, so she moved from Austin to Marfa, where she has a studio downtown.Renowned for her novels, short stories, and recent memoir The Mistress's Daughter, A. M. HOMES is also a respected arts writer and regular contributor to Art Forum, Art Review, and Modern Painter.ELIZABETH FERRER, a curator and writer specializing in Mexican and Latino art and photography, is Director of Visual Arts at BRIC Arts Media Bklyn in Brooklyn, New York.
