Story Behind The Book

Alex and Cassidy have an interesting beginning. A year ago, I decided to return to writing fiction, namely a play. After years away from creative writing and performance, the endeavor seemed intimidating. My son, an avid fan fiction writer and reader suggested I "practice" and write a fan fiction. I balked. Finally, I decided perhaps it would be good practice. I wrote a story called Salvation (a Xena fan fiction that begins 11 years after Xena died). The following grew and some of my readers suggested I write an original piece. I love political thrillers and I LOVE the idea of falling in love. That is where Alex and Cassidy find their birth. They have taken me on quite the journey and continue do. The story is full of unique characters and crazy plot twists. As a social justice major, a woman and a lesbian. I think that mainstreaming models of same gender relationships is important. I hope that people can travel with Alex and Cassidy and enjoy their adventure. Perhaps, in the process. a few people will realize that we are all the same. Each of us muddles through life hoping to find love and connection, facing upheavals and even betrayals and never knowing where our journey may lead.

Reviews

<p><em>“The complex depictions of both Toles' and Cassidy's sexualities and personalities are refreshing...this welcome addition to the crime-fiction genre features a refreshingly new type of heroine.”</em></p> <p><big><strong>~ KIRKUS REVIEWS</strong></big>      </p> <p><em>“This is not your typical lesbian fiction book, there is more to this story than the building romance between the main characters. It is also a really good political thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.” </em><big><strong>~ Curve.com</strong></big></p> <p><strong>READ THE FULL REVIEWS VIA THE LINKS IN MEDIA MENTIONS</strong></p> <p> </p>
