Crossed Genres is proud to begin serializing Kelly Jennings’ novel Broken Slate.

This tense, invigorating novel shows the origin of Martin Eduardo, a “contract” who must battle not only societal discrimination and oppression, but also the indoctrinated restrictions within his own heart and mind.

Martin previously appeared in the short story Lunch Money, which was published in Crossed Genres issue 13 (“Action/Adventure”).

Chapter One of Broken Slate is free to read on the site. New chapters will be posted every two weeks until the entire novel is published: at which point, Crossed Genres will publish Broken Slate in its entirety.

Raised in New Orleans, Kelly Jennings teaches writing at the University of Fort Smith-Arkansas, where she uses way too many office hours working on a five book series about Martin Eduardo and the contract labor revolution on Julian. You can follow Kelly’s blog at http://delagar.blogspot.com.

Please read, enjoy, and comment. Thank you!
