If you took the last novel I wrote (INTERGALACTIC: a Pop Space Opera), changed its clothes, sobered it up, and spun it 180 degrees, you'd get my current WIP: Winterspring and Summerfall.
Intergalactic is comical, set in the future, and based on an outrageous Lady Ga-Gaesque character who must prevent an interplanetary war.
Winterspring and Summerfall is literary fiction set in the 1980's and is an amalgam of true life experiences (my own, my friends, and others around me). It takes place over a small bit of terrain, one girl's coming of age and opening into sexual identity. There's no shooting across the galaxy, only a lonely girl who sees the world in her own strange way, and whose first intimate encounter is with a neighbour girl who, years later in high school, denies the relationship and even bullies her.
I might pitch it as The Perks of Being a Wallflower for Queer Girls
