Manisy Willows Books announces the release of the first novel by Austin, Texas Author, NINA FOXX. Dippin' My Spoon, a blend of romance & psychological suspense, will be published in the Summer of 2000. Amber once thought she would have been satisfied with job security as a psychologist, a not-so-saucy marriage, & a life far away from the hicks & sticks she grew up in. But the reality she lived in was far different from the world she dreamed about. Counseling began to feel like a mere management of "other people's problems." Her once hunk-of-a-husband is resolved to a life of beer & basking in the glow of the TV from the sofa. When Amber meets David, all of a sudden, her life is turned topsy-turvy. With new love on the horizon, Amber jilts her inattentive husband & embarks on a physical & mental journey, with David, destined for happiness. Everything seems perfect until Amber meets Malik. He seems able to see straight through to what is truly in Amber's heart & helps her questions the intentions of those around her. With her bowl half-full again, Amber is back on top. That is, until she discovers a horrible truth under the shining armor of her knights. What follows is a quagmire of sex & violence that will leave you guessing until the very end. FOXX's brilliant debut places her alongside Kimberla Lawson Roby, Omar Tyree, Evelyn Palfrey, & other writers in the Commercial Fiction & Romance Thriller genres.
