Book by local queer author
My name is Kelly (penname Q. Kelly). I live in Roanoke, and my first novel, "The Odd Couple," was published by Regal Crest Enterprises (a GBLT publisher) earlier this month. The book would appeal to GBLT people around here -- not only is it a lesbian novel, it is set in Roanoke.
Here is the summary of "The Odd Couple."
Morrisey Hawthorne and her four-year-old son, Gareth, have a pretty good life. Then one day they meet Charlene Sudsbury, who is trying to move on from the suicide of her son, JP, three years before. Gareth is nearly the mirror image of JP, and Charlene connects instantly with him. Not quite so with Morrisey, who can't escape fast enough after Charlene shows her a picture of JP. Charlene is convinced Morrisey is hiding something and sets out in search of the truth.
Despite the circumstances, the two women form an unusual bond and end up with a lot more than they bargained for. But when an old friend of JP's resurfaces, he challenges the fragile trust Morrisey and Charlene have been building.
Can these two women overcome the obstacles that separate them from the happiness they seek?
