Jessica Faust

I just finished Lessons in Chemistry and it’s my entire #mswl —feminism, powerful women, quirky, found family, dogs, love, loss, laughter, tears, brilliant writing and the sense I never want to put this book down.

But I also love light. I'm not taking on many new cozy authors these days unless you've elevated the cozy like The Maid. Another with a strong sense of family and more complicated and layered story then typical cozies #MSWL

I like dark and twisty but not gory. Suspense with a real edge. I tend not to lean to horror, but love dark characters with dark secrets. Like Razorblade Tears or Black Cake. Family secrets coming to light are a big hit for me. #MSWL

My areas of expertise are upmarket and literary fiction, women's fiction, mystery, suspense and thriller. I love books w/ strong family focus (found, friends, those you're born with) and home. Even in mystery I love those connections #MSWL

Deep diving into books all weekend. Well books & baking. Finding I really gravitate toward multi-generational family stories right now. Also, yesterday I baked pie, cookies, banana bread & then made puttanesca. #mswl

How Jessica Faust’s #MSWL Changed During Covid-19 bookendsliterary.com/2020/04/13/how…

I desperately need upmarket, literary or women's fiction that takes a close look at the opioid epidemic. Maybe a person dealing with a child, spouse, or other who is addicted? Or a family saga ala Bull Mountain #MSWL

I am also looking for a transgender family story--a family going through a child's transition or a child with a transgender parent #MSWL #AskAgent I'm sure the list could go on. lol

I'm always looking for domestic suspense, especially something #ownvoices & family-related (not just husband and wife) #MSWL

I'm still also looking for domestic suspense. I'd love to see something family-oriented. Not just husband/wife, but maybe there are kids involved. #MSWL

I would really like a women's relationship story actually set at the beach somewhere. Friendships, sisters, sisters-in-law... #MSWL

I would love to find a suspense or women's fiction about a woman in a polygamist family/marriage. So many possibilities. #MSWL

I finished another book by Sara Addison Allen this weekend, which means my #MSWL for today is a feel good women's fiction, family story. With or without magical realism. #MSWLMadness

My #FridayFeeling is also my #MSWL -- women's fiction about the effect the opioid crisis has on one family. #WF #MSWLMadness

Early morning #wf themes on my #MSWL-LGBTQ families, dealing w/ the opioid crisis & addiction, moms & Mom relationships, coming home

I'm feeling energized by #MSWL It feels a little like a holiday. I would love women's fiction, suspense/thriller with polygamist family
