My mother now regrets her fateful words she offered the day I came home from our small town library in Palm Springs, California (yes, I’m a Cali girl) complaining that there were no more books to read. “Then why don’t you write some.”

My father never saw his old Remington portable until I entered college and they gifted me an IBM Selectric. By then I had produced at least two dozen unpublishable novels which make me cringe when I read them today.

I found inspiration in innumerable odd jobs (from migrant work as a Date palm pollinator to the person who cleans the washing machines at the launderette to professional Dominatrix) for stories. After a stint in Rehab for Alcohol and Heroin abuse (so when I write those scenes, I know what I’m talking about), I cleaned up and have stayed that way for 29 years. (Me and Sir Elton, LOL). My gypsy lifestyle gave me a unique perspective on the different people who inhabited the Washington, Oregon, Arizona, California, and New Mexico areas where I have lived.

After 3 very bad marriages to men, I finally figured out what was wrong and fell in love with a woman when I lived in Portland, OR 23 years ago. We’ve been married since 2008 (yes it was legal in California at that time). We now live in Asheville, NC and love the people in this liberal and accepting corner of the mountains of North Carolina.

Summary:

Sam and Will grew up on neighboring farms in a small Midwest town and have been inseparable since the day they were born.

They've shared everything in each other's lives--they’ve worked the farms and gone to school together, had countless weekend sleepovers at each other’s homes, and spent their summers swimming in the local quarry, driving the back lanes in Will’s pickup truck, and watching late night movies.

But everything Sam knew is turned on its head one day when Will shows up at school grown from a boy to a man. Sam can’t help but notice the differences in his best friend’s maturing body and realizes that he has more than platonic feelings for his childhood pal. He’s gone and fallen in love with his best friend. Afraid of giving himself away and facing the humiliation of rejection, Sam goes to college and puts as much distance as he can between the two of them. Now they’re both home for Thanksgiving break, and Will refuses to accept Sam’s continued brush-offs and excuses. Demanding answers for Sam’s silence, Will pushes against every one of Sam’s defenses until the situation comes to a heated head... The steamy debut novella from Clara W. Barrow and Carnation Books will make your Kindle screen fog up, leaving you breathless for the novel-length sequel Everywhere With You, available now!
