I AM CALICO JONES by Elizabeth Sims
I am Calico Jones: Four Short Stories
Now available on Amazon Kindle!

These four electrifying short stories by award-winning author Elizabeth Sims are her hand-picked favorites. Love stories? Happy endings? Tough breaks? We got ’em. If you’re a fan of the Lillian Byrd crime novels, you’ll be delighted to finally know what Calico Jones thinks about when she’s tied up, awaiting execution at the hands of geopolitical terrorists. Regrets? She’s had a few. The three other stories explore the range of lesbian experience from wacky to warm, from heartbreak to hilarity. Says an early reviewer: “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to go camping.” We might add, you’ll never feel the same standing in front of a bank teller again. Who knew the range of lesbian fiction could be so vast, so compelling, so delightful?
