FALLEN STARLET Excerpt

Last night at Audrey’s Books, for the 4th annual Read and Write with Pride event we hold here in Edmonton, I had the distinct pleasure of publicly reading my F/F romance for the first time.

It was a packed house, and I was definitely nervous. I’ve blogged about my struggle writing F/F as a queer woman before, and all those same insecurities linger in me still, although I’m getting better at managing them.

But it went over well! People laughed at the funny bits, made noises of commiseration at the personal bits, and just generally seemed to enjoy the excerpt. And so, I figured I’d share it with you guys too!

FALLEN STARLET is my and James Loke Hale’s (writing as Sam Schooler) entry into the upcoming ROSE & THORNS multiauthor F/F romance series. It’s all about two young actresses, both exploited by the same sleazy director, who rather than competing with one another for his favour, team up to take him down. And then they kiss.
