Foxy's Tale

by LB Gschwandtner, Karen Cantwell

Overview

A comic, chick lit tale wherein former beauty queen Foxy Anders, who's fallen on hard times, rents an apartment to mysterious, bumbling Myron Standlish who's arrived in the city looking for a long lost trunk containing who knows what. When Foxy's teenage daughter, Amanda hooks up with Nick, a cute guy at school, while getting cooking lessons from Foxy's new assistant Knot, they're all in for some romance with a dash of suspense and a sprinkle of supernatural.

About the Author

LB Gschwandtner (pronounced Shwantner)
I'm married (38 years now), and we have three wonderful daughters.
Of course I'm a writer, but I'm also a magazine editor, artist, and co-owner, with my family, of an integrated media business.
My work has appeared in various journals including Del Sol Review. One of my prose poems has been included in an anthology called Oil and Water and Other Things That Don't Mix, a collection published to support victims of the BP oil spill in the Gulf.
I have received awards for three different stories from the Writer's Digest Annual Competition in the mainstream literary category and the Lorian Hemingway short fiction competition, and was short listed for a Tom Howard Short Story Contest.
I also founded TheNovelette.com which offers free, themed, writing contests with prizes for emerging writers.
I have published three books all available In print and Kindle formats at Amazon.com: The Naked Gardener, Page Truly and The Journey To Nearandfar, and Foxy's Tale
I'm an avid kayaker (touring) and grew up fishing in the Florida Keys.
Here's a tidbit of interest. My husband proposed on our first and only date and we were married five weeks later. We lived in Paris, France, for a time and now live on a tidal creek where we love watching Bald eagles soar past our windows.
I hope you enjoy my books.

Karen Fraunfelder Cantwell:
Karen has been writing plays and short stories for many years, some of which were published in various college literary magazines. More recently, her short story “The Recollections of Rosabelle Raines,” was published in the mystery anthology CHESAPEAKE CRIMES: THEY HAD IT COMIN’ (Wildside Press, 2010). TAKE THE MONKEYS AND RUN is her first novel and was inspired, to some degree, by a true monkey sighting in her own neighborhood. Since finishing FOXY’S TALE, she has been conjuring a second Barbara Marr novel, CITIZEN INSANE. When she’s not writing, she spends time with her kids before they hit those years when they pretend they don't know her. Karen loves to hear from readers. Visit her at www.karencantwell.com.

Editorial Reviews

I downed this book in one gulp. It is fast, fun, and full of dips and turns. Foxy is a great heroine, a former beauty queen and divorcee who is starting anew in DC by opening an antique shop. Even better, she's surrounded by the perfect supporting cast - a surly teenage daughter, a hilarious gay assistant, and, oh yeah, the world's most incompetent vampire who just "happens" to be renting a room in her house. A great read.
