An inspiring story

Stumbled across this on Facebook and it’s really awesome, I thought.  I really wish I could fathom the sorts of people who would try to deny that she is anything but a little girl, the horrible people who would threaten violence and even murder!  It’s sick, but she seems a vibrant, charming, and beautiful person — certainly worth an hundred of her detractors.

Announcing: Love or Lust now available!

Love or Lust coverNow available in eBook and Print: Love or Lust the first of four books in the Now & Forever series.

A light-hearted, slice-of-life, romantic-comedy for young adults, Love or Lust introduces you to Lauren Conners, a ballerina, a Good Girl, studious, and sweet, and to Salencia Constellino, an exotic, irreverent cowgirl new to the little Washington town.

When the girls meet it’s love at first sight; sparks fly, angels sing, lightning and fireworks. But they attend the best school in the area, a Catholic secondary school, Immaculate Conception. It’s not just their school that brings trouble for the young couple. The young teens have their own inner turmoils and anxieties — especially Lauren, who always wants to think the best of people, but quickly learns just how petty people can get.

It’s an uplifting story, though, meant to inspire and give hope. The girls have supportive and loving friends and families. And, largely, the obstacles of life and of being teenagers are navigated with quirky senses of humour and strange misunderstandings.

In this book Lauren and Sally are first and foremost, young high school freshmen, fourteen years old and trying to make sense of themselves and the world around them. It is my hope that it might show people that we’re all human beings no matter who it is we choose to love. That homosexual, heterosexual, bixsexual, asexual, trisexual, or what have you, are still people; still feeling beings with hopes and dreams.

Poetic Interlude

A little poetic excerpt from Ready or Not.

Into your eyes I fall;
     Lost in obsidian depths.
They capture my soul;
     I forget to breathe.

I taste your lips;
     Like nectar for the gods.
I taste your skin;
     Ambrosia was ne’er so fine.

You embrace me;
     I am yours.
You taste me;
     You enslave me.

My senses are aflame;
     In our passion, reality fades away.
Our skins touch;
     Lightning charges every nerve.

You complete me;
     I complete you.
Our bodies are one;
     Our souls unite.

I need you like breathing;
     You are my life.
Salencia, I love you;
     You are my soul.
