I grew up in a small community in North Carolina. In Two of a Kind, I tell the story of growing up gay in the South, finding the love of my life, and then losing her all too soon to cancer. Told in a series of “Thoughts” rather than one continuous narration, my observations and opinions are woven into my memories. Readers should expect empathy, humanity, and kindness among these pages, amid the challenges of living life as a Lesbian woman in a conservative society.

These writings all began because I needed something to occupy my time now that I am retired and wheelchair bound. I began to write about my memories and opinions. Having nowhere else to disseminate these little gems, I began sharing them with friends on Facebook as a sort of serial. They were well received, so set out to turn them into a book.

I hope you enjoy these real life adventures.
