About this title

From the Author

The Intersect has been a true labor of love. Inspired by my move to the Phoenix area, I wrote The Intersect to share my perspective on the cultural, political, and social diversity of the area. I write contemporary fiction, and so Phoenix provided the perfect background to explore cross-generational relationships in light of the challenges we face as a society regarding age discrimination, gay youth, and immigration. But most importantly, the novel is about friendship and love and how the right people show up in your life when you need them the most. That is a predominant theme in my fiction.
