A delicious selection of short fiction cooked up to benefit the Lupus Foundation of America. It started online when a group of writers and editors learned that a friend, writer and book blogger Sabrina Ogden, needed expensive jaw surgery. So they did what writers and editors are best at doing—they put together a book of killer fiction to benefit Sabrina. After a successful fundraising publication through an indiegogo project, they, along with Sabrina, decided to make FEEDING KATE available to everyone, and keep the fundraising going to benefit The Lupus Foundation of America. From the Foreword: “Our guidelines [for FEEDING KATE]? The stories had to involve food or involve a character named Kate. The result is a broad selection of story genres—from pulp to horror to comedy to crime to young adult—by writers with just as wide a range of voices and publishing experience. Like Sabrina, each piece is unique. One of the surest proofs of her specialness is that nearly three-fourths of the stories in the collection were written especially for her and this project.” FIRST COURSE: REVENGE IS SERVED Wax Fruit by Dan O’Shea Rivka’s Place by Linda Rodriguez The Hollow Woman by Laura Benedict Dolores is Dead by Daryl Wood Gerber Crush by Chad Rohrbacher SECOND COURSE: CRAVINGS The Well by Chris Holm Gavage by Chuck Wendig Anniversary by Hilary Davidson THIRD COURSE: CRIMINALLY DELICIOUS The Jaws of Life by Laura K.
