Synopsis

Slippin’ Sippin’ Saints takes a scandalous peek inside the flawed flock of New York’s Church of the One Way—where image is everything and nothing is what it seems. From the pulpit to the door, no one escapes the addictively intoxicating atmosphere of mendacity, temptation, and sex. The church’s married and miserable—the M & M’s—have the most to lose as they scramble to squash the release of the salacious tell-all Cheat Like a Lady, Don’t Give a Damn. Sable Alexandra’s charmed life crashes and burns as alcohol and arrogance bring husband Price to his knees. Cheaters and beaters don’t mix, but an envious Bubbles Dupree craves all things Sable—including her husband. Thirty-five-year-old Chunkie White clings to her virginity tighter than her disgust with life. For lottery-loving Missionary Lilly White, the jig is up. When a geriatric pimp resurfaces and threatens to topple the image she’s spent decades to build, will she sacrifice her daughter’s virtue to mute him? With an obsession to expose Pastor David Dante’s inferno, an impatient editor riding his back, and nothing else left to bank his roll, Reyn pens the noxious roman à clef Cheat Like a Lady, Don’t Give a Damn. Based loosely on the Seven Deadly Sins, Slippin’ Sippin’ Saints spotlights desperate souls wrestling with desire and vice as they seek salvation. From its jaw-dropping opener to its stunning climax, and unforgettable ending, this novel scratches the guiltiest itch, leaving readers breathlessly craving more. Without being preachy, the provocative, refreshingly tongue-in-cheek Slippin’ Sippin’ Saints promises to entertain, redeem, and to restore the gift of hope.

About this title

About the Author:

Around the age of three, Faye Thompson had an epiphany. Her baby cousin’s initials spelled a real word—cat. Her love affair with the written word was born and her world was never the same. Perhaps because Faye rarely saw her image reflected in the stories she read, she became the change she wanted to see. Faye Thompson spent her tenth summer pounding out her first book on her mother’s old manual typewriter. She greeted each dawn with anticipation and learned that summer days meant more than hopscotch, Barbie dolls, and double Dutch. That summer she discovered her purpose. Thompson had a plan. She created a dream board packed with superlatives and rave reviews from the New York Times, Rex Reed, the Chicago Tribune, and Time magazine, all touting her bestsellers. There was even a quote from Jimmie JJ Walker because even he knew, she decided, that her books were “Dynomite!” Years later she learned that she had actually created a vision board. Whenever she was discouraged, the young Thompson would take a dream break to recharge her creative battery and imagine the possibilities. She embraced her dream until reality woke her up. Warning: Life is harder than it appears. She buried her purpose. Thompson returned to school and graduated summa cum laude from York College/CUNY with a bachelor’s degree in psychology as she worked full-time for the federal government. Something was missing. While mourning her father’s death in Paris, she forced herself to answer one of Oprah’s ifs. If your life were to end tomorrow, what would you most regret not having done? Another epiphany revealed itself. It was time to birth those books. Thompson’s ten-year search for a publisher ended after a chance meeting with New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber. In Her Mother’s Shadow was released in 2006. Cheesecake and Teardrops and Red-Hot Pepper soon followed. Faye Thompson’s ultimate goal is always the same. The author utilizes her God-given passion for writing to restore the gift of hope. As it graces her home, that now-framed vision board serves as a fond reminder. Faye Thompson is meticulously polishing her next drama-laced gem. Dreams really do come true. Visit www.fayethompson.com
