In 1998 I was inspired, for the first time in my life, to try writing fiction. I started writing for the web using the name SX Meagher.
The I Found My Heart In San Francisco series was the result of that effort.
In Awakenings, the first of the 26 novels of this "alphabet" series, we meet the main characters: Ryan O'Flaherty and Jamie Evans, juniors at the University of California at Berkeley.
Jamie is the only child of a prominent Bay Area family and has her future all mapped out for her.
Ryan's choices are more her own. She has nearly as many options as she's had lovers since she stormed out of the closet at 17.
The women meet in a psychology class - the Psycology of the Lesbian Experience. The class seems a natural choice for Ryan, but what would make Jamie, a straight English major, choose it? |
