Author's Note |
| A portion and/or version of this book has been handed around for years
to various proofreaders and friends, and I have about 127 copies of it
on floppy disk, which I have recently transferred to CD. When I first started
writing this book, floppies were relatively new and exciting. Now I mostly
use them for coasters or mixed-media art. This was the first novel I ever wrote, begun in 1988 after I came home from Basic Training and Quartermaster school. I have revisited this story sporadically over the years, while teething on other books. I decided to rewrite it and make it available. Since it has been sitting around for some 16 years-I laughingly refer to it as my first Historical Romance. The inspiration for writing this book began after my tryst with a beautiful soldier in Quartermaster school, who is the Brittany character, (not her real name), but who has since fallen off the face of the earth. (Hey "Brit," if you see this, get in touch. You know who you are.) The other impetus stemmed from my continual frustration in finding a "lesbian" book I wanted to read. It seemed that all the characters in lesbian fiction were dark, troubled, addicted, or gender-confused. I wanted to write something that was more representative of what I knew of being a lesbian. So I took some personal experiences and a healthy dose of creative license, and this was the result. I hope you enjoy it. |
