  <about><![CDATA[Fay Jacobs, a native New Yorker, spent 30 years in the Washington, DC area working in journalism, theater and public relations. Her first book, As I Lay Frying – a Rehoboth Beach Memoir was published in 2004. Her second collection, Fried &amp; True - Tales from Rehoboth Beach was published in 2007 and has won the 2008 Book of the Year- humor from the DE Press Association. Fay has contributed feature stories and columns to such publications as The Advocate, OutTraveler, The Baltimore Sun, Chesapeake Bay Magazine, The Washington Blade, The Wilmington News Journal, Delaware Beach Life and more. 

Since 1995 she has been a regular columnist for Letters from CAMP Rehoboth, a GLBT magazine and won the national 1997 Vice Versa Award for excellence in GLBT press. 

A&amp;M Books was established in 1995 by the late Anyda Marchant and Muriel Crawford. Prior to starting A&amp;M Books, Marchant and Crawford founded Naiad Press in 1974 along with Barbara Grier and Donna J. McBride. A&amp;M Books is the publisher of both of Fay Jacobs books as well as the fourteen classic Sarah Aldridge novels, all of which are still in print. Following the death of Anyda Marchant (age 95) and Muriel Crawford (age 92) in 2006, Fay Jacobs became the publisher of A&amp;M Books.

She and Bonnie, her partner of 26 years, relocated to Rehoboth Beach, DE in 1999. They have two Miniature Schnauzers and a riding lawn mower.
