Product Description: Conspiring with the females, For You, Madam Lenin presents the Russian Revolution(s) and more through the eyes of Nadezhda Krupskaya and her acerbic mother, singularly unimpressed with son-in-law Vladimir Lenin.

Product Description: Narrated in part by a ghost, When the Dust Finally Settles is a novel focused on land, loyalty, and Southern racial politics in 1968. Mawatuck County (also the setting for Meads's The Invented Life of Kitty Duncan) is a place where the present continually collides with the past.

Kat Meads was represented in Cris Mazza's popular Chick Lit anthology. Kat Meads' collection runs icy and hot--hot with its use of literary forms to twist her stories about, icy with her insightful appraisal of her characters. (view table of contents)

An engaging personal narrative about growing up in the South and leaving that region to explore a 'larger' world. The first generation of her family to attend college, Kat Meads breaks with long-time family tradition and leaves her agrarian 'roots' to wander rootless: around the country. 'Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and I gotta ramble,' she writes in the books' opening essay. These essays give us a writer who is able to take us along as she lives in various places and supports herself through various odd jobs -- as a potato grader, an artists' model, a secretary, a part-time college instructor. She gives us a wealth of interesting characters -- her father, grandmother, neighbours and relatives, people she meets during her wandering.
