Forthcoming from Bold Strokes Books in September 2010
They say you can’t go home again, but Raine St. James doesn’t know why anyone would want to.
Rory St. James was disowned after she came out at seventeen. She rebounded by moving to Chicago, changing her name to Raine and putting down her hometown to audiences around the country. Now, ten years later, too old to be considered a gay youth, broke, evicted, and fresh off a much needed break-up, Raine St. James is forced to accept a job teaching at Bramble University in Darlington, the town she’s been publicly bashing for the last decade.
Beth Devoroux was born and raised in Darlington. Despite losing her parents at a young age, she is well loved by everyone who knows her. She leads a comfortable life with good job at Bramble University, a long-term but closeted relationship, friends that she can count on, and everything she thinks she wants, so why is she so drawn to a rabble-rouser like Raine St. James?
Can Raine and Beth face their pasts and come to terms with their differences in order to have any hope for a future together?
Every skier knows that anything can happen when trails merge.
After a devastating ultimatum from her lover, Campbell Carson returns to her childhood home, Bear Run Ski Resort, seeking her family’s unconditional solace and support. Parker Riley escapes to the mountain after the high-powered world of Chicago’s political machine leaves her questioning her judgment in both life and love. Despite their initial wariness, the women find their budding friendship snowballing toward romance. The idyllic mountain resort is the perfect setting for them to learn to rebuild trust, and perhaps to find a second chance at love. However, when Parker’s past resurfaces, Campbell is forced to face her own hard truths. As barely healed wounds reopen, the unexpected obstacles in their path threaten any hope for a future together.
It’s never too late to learn about love…even when the lessons turn your world upside down.
Ashton Clarke, a local Casanova with a long history of falling into bed with a different woman every night, is perfectly content with her free and easy existence until she gives in to her best friend’s request to spend an evening helping out at the local gay and lesbian youth center. There, Ash meets Carrie Fletcher, a women’s studies professor who not only intrigues Ash but causes her to question the direction her life has taken.
As if this disquieting attraction isn’t aggravating enough, Ash is forced to deal with Carrie’s teenage neighbor Tess, whose bad attitude and biting wit seem to complicate every situation.
Ash doesn’t want to be attracted to Carrie, who isn’t looking for a relationship with anyone, and Tess is angry at the world, but especially, it seems, with Ash. Despite resistance on the part of all three women, it soon becomes obvious that the trio’s destinies are hopelessly intertwined and the lessons in store will change all their lives.
I also have a story called “Baby Steps” in Romantic Interludes 1: Discovery. The story follows new moms Kale and Grace as they relearn what it means to be romantic with a new born baby in the house. The anthology features a host of romantic short stories from some of Bold Strokes Books finest authors.

Hi Rachel,
Bet I surprised you! I am almost done reading The Long Way Home. You really are a great writer and I am thrilled to say that I truly enjoyed your book! You now I am a retired English teacher so I had a certain amount of fear…. what would I say if I really thought the book was only so-so!??? I hated grading when I was a teacher, but I can say with a clear conscience that you deserve an outstanding grade for style, character development, and overall integrity as a writer and person.
I had to look up a lot of terms, names through Google so you expanded my horizons. I am a feminist at heart, did a paper a couple of years ago on feminist art you might enjoy, also have a couple of feminist art books you may borrow. I read Sue’s philosophy as a teacher and also want to talk to her about my own philosophy and teaching experiences… we have much in common. I didn’t teacher with sexual identity in mind but encouraged searching and self-understanding and incorporated psychology and understanding grief into my 12th grade curriculum.
See you in church!!!
Great photo of the three of you!!!
Wow, thanks Rosie. I am beyond thrilled that you liked The Long Way Home! I’m also happy that you took the time to look up some of the references, I was hoping people would do that! I bet you were great teacher.
