The Head and The Heart
My debut novel "The Head and The Heart" will be available in August of 2021!
In the meantime, here's a little bit about why I chose to write this book: Awareness regarding dating violence and abusive relationships has gained so much traction in the last few years, and I think that’s absolutely wonderful and so important; however, there’s hardly any LGBT representation in these conversations. Because of stigma and stereotypes, people who identify as LGBT face a whole new challenge in speaking out about abuse they’ve experienced (for more information, visit this link: www.loveisrespect.org/is-this-abuse/abusive-lgbtq-relationships/ ). The fact of the matter is that dating violence and relationship abuse can happen between ANY two people, regardless of any human construct or label that defines them. Every victim of relationship abuse deserves to be heard, understood, believed, and supported. If you’re a victim, remember that your story is important—so is your voice. You have allies, and they are listening. I am one of them. I started writing this book to regain my own voice, but fought for the book to be published because I wanted to give a voice to something larger than me--a community of people, all people, who have been silenced by relationship abuse. I am so excited to share this with everyone. Stay tuned! |
