Novella, "The Holding Pen," Appeals to the Quickly Expanding Middle-Aged Daters

NEW YORK - June 28, 2017 - PRLog -- The Fiction division of the literary e-Boutique Madison Avenue Publishers is the little black dress and pearls of the new literary market. Classy, sexy and seductive, these books belong on every literary woman's favorite "reading device." The newest "Stiletto Stories" Novella, "The Holding Pen," appeals to the quickly expanding middle-aged daters.

Unusual love prose is the specialty of author B. K. Smith, who also pens the award-winning "Lipstick Mountains Memoirs." The novella series is a shorter version of mostly narratives; Smith writes about relationships that are fast and furious, sometimes tragic, often realistic, and can be unorthodox in that they push boundaries, as do many early relationships. With a penchant for narrative and very quick and sharp language, she spins a story that begins in a restaurant, where many introductions are made, and comes full circle. Baby Boomers meet and years of prior relationships, children, disappointments, typical baggage, tend to appear camouflaged as designer luggage. If you scratch the surface of her writings, you will find universal messages carefully hidden in the silk dupioni drapes and the silk-screened wallpaper. With a history of creating unexpected and sometimes startling endings, her work sticks with you long after reading it. They are either stunning or laugh-out-loud funny. He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he couldn't care less, he loves me, and about a dozen other women.

You just never know. All of her writings are enjoyable, captivating and they document the social issues of the last half century. These fictionalized narratives are stories shared by strong and beautiful contemporary women who are complex, flawed and curious. Each story in the series is rich and blissfully decadent, but also has content and substance. Modern women will identify with the world of powerful men, where they must balance sexuality and purity, faith and reason; to manage their femininity and vulnerability and emerge ultimately as intelligent, thoughtful, and capable.

The Lipstick Mountains Memoirs series is a collection of very well researched and written stories, not unlike diary entries in their honesty, detail, and anticipation.

The story "The Holding Pen" was the feature story in an anthology of unusual prose published a decade ago. Reviewed by IP Book Reviews: "Classic. Not soon to be forgotten."

Other novellas include award-winning "Laina and the Vamp," "Just Desserts," and "Manhattan Tryst."

"Chelsea Matinee – Memoirs of an Easy Woman" won "Best Erotic Fiction" for excellence in 2016. "It is not pornography; it's erotic literature, which is better, veiled. Something French writers Colette or Anais Nin would have enjoyed, or perhaps written if they lived today."
