Fried & True - Tales from Rehoboth Beach

In Fried & True,  
Fay takes you inside the remarkable lives of two Rehoboth Beach icons, sharing her close friendship with legendary feminist author Sarah Aldridge (the pen name of Anyda Marchant). 

Marchant  wrote 14 classic novels and founded, with her partner Muriel Crawford, Naiad Press – arguably the most successful feminist publishing house in the country in the 1970s and 80s. Fay’s friendship with the founders of Naiad and then A&M Books gives readers an extraordinary and very personal glimpse of two lives bravely and gloriously lived.     

"Her columns... are laugh out loud funny and the best part is that Jacobs is sincere...those who enjoyed Jacobs' first collection will not be disappointed and those reading her for the first time will understand why she's such a beloved columnist."
Lambda Book Report

From provocative to political, from heartwarming to hilarious, Fay’s written voice invites readers in as friends, and she once again introduces us to the unique inhabitants of Rehoboth Beach . Much of the focus this time is on her close friendship with two of the most famous locals, couple Sarah Aldridge and Muriel Crawford, whom Fay credits for helping her become an “accidental publisher.”

As I Lay Frying -
a Rehoboth Beach Memoir

Now in its 3rd printing:  
the little book that word of mouth built!

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware has been called "The Nation's Summer Capital" ever since the families of U.S. Senators and Congressmen discovered its beauty and charm, spending summers in Rehoboth to escape the oppressive heat and humidity of Washington, DC. Later, Rehoboth became another kind of refuge, when the gay and lesbian communities of the Mid-Atlantic found a beach resort to call their own.

In 1995, writer Fay Jacobs and her partner Bonnie literally cruised into town and discovered the unique charm of this seaside community. Almost immediately, Fay began chronicling her life as a Rehoboth weekender in a column that appeared in the magazine Letters from CAMP Rehoboth. In the years that followed, Fay's Rehoboth fans have followed her smart, witty columns as Fay & Bonnie made the transition from visitors to regulars to locals themselves. Fay's unique voice and her willingness to bare it all in print turned her fans into a sort of extended family. The collected essays of Fay Jacobs are published in two books. Together, they tell a story that is sometimes provocative, sometimes political, occasionally heartwarming, and always hilarious.
