EXCITING NEWS! A Recipe for Dying, first book in the Coastal Coffee Club Mysteries series is now available as an audio and e-book!

The old people are dying in the small coastal town of Waterton, but no one seems to notice—after all, that's what old folk do, isn't it? Eleanor and her delightful assortment of friends, most whom are getting up in age, set out to discover what is going on. Is it a series of mercy killings, or mu....

Black & Tan Fantasy, Randall Luce
A Booklife Editor's Pick
Takeaway: Crucial historical novel of American race, identity, and the cost of belonging.
Comparable Titles: William Melvin Kelley’s A Different Drummer, Denny S. Bryce’s In the Face of the Sun.

In the 1920s, Harry Wilbourne—a white man who rescues a Black woman, Geneva, and her children from a fire—does more than commit a heroic act.

In the 1960s, a young Black activist named Aleck Sharpe, raised in the shadows of racial violence, joins the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Luce traverses the haunted terrain of the segregated American South with historical precision, interrogating the complex construction of racial identity and the binary ways—violence and nonviolence—people are driven to pursue justice.

Meet GladEye Press author Randall Luce and get a signed copy of his gripping novel Black & Tan Fantasy, a Booklife Editor's Pick https://booklife.com/booklife-review/9781951289232

The riveting story alternates between two men—one White, one Black—as they journey through one of the most fraught and disturbing periods of US history, one that remains largely unresolved even sixty years later.

The “drowned man” a White man stripped of his place in the strictly segregated society struggles to navigate the surging currents and find a place for himself and his complicated family. The “wounded man” works to bring the power of the vote to the oppressed rural Black population in the Mississippi Delta while struggling to maintain his own dignity and a pledge of nonviolence in the face of atrocities. Truer than many historical accounts—as only great fiction can be—Black & Tan Fantasy is a tale that strikes a chord that still reverberates today.
