Congratulations, Shira Glassman, you become the first guest on this blog. :) Shira is here for her newest book, The Second Mango. This looks awesome!
The Second Mango
by Shira Glassman
Queen Shulamit never
expected to inherit the throne of the tropical land of Perach so young. At
twenty, grief-stricken and fatherless, she's also coping with being the only
lesbian she knows after her sweetheart ran off for an unknown reason. Not to
mention, she's the victim of severe digestive problems that everybody think
she's faking. When she meets Rivka, an athletic and assertive warrior from the
north who wears a mask and pretends to be a man, she finds the source of
strength she needs so desperately.
Unfortunately for her,
Rivka is straight, but that's okay -- Shulamit needs a surrogate big sister
just as much as she needs a girlfriend. Especially if the warrior's willing to
take her around the kingdom on the back of her dragon in search of other women
who might be open to same-sex romance. The real world outside the palace is
full of adventure, however, and the search for a royal girlfriend quickly turns
into a rescue mission when they discover a temple full of women turned to stone
by an evil sorcerer.

I'm a violinist with a passionate love for stories and
adventures. I feel incredibly lucky that I was finally inspired enough to
create an adventure that contains most of the elements I like, including the
ways I wish other stories had gone, stories that had initially left me feeling
disappointed or alone or left out or hungry. Writing, for me, is also a way to
revel in the things, phenomena, and places that I like, and also a way to deal
with or dismiss or conquer anything that has hurt or bothered me. But above
all, I care about my characters, and about their relationships with each other.
