Many people
are unaware that my Redcliffe novels, and my contemporary English Gothic
stories, include characters who are lesbian, gay and bisexual. I don’t shout
about it because it shouldn’t be a selling point. We are who we are, and we are
free to love and play with other people as we see fit. But enough of my
preaching. In the spirit of sharing diverse works of art, today I introduce you
to a novel called Juliana, by Vanda.
“She went
looking for fame, and found her true self, instead.”
So begins
the story of Juliana, a talented Broadway performer, and the young, naïve farm
girl Alice that she seduces. The novel is set between 1941 and 1944, and tells
a story about the modern world of the gay and lesbian social scene, and the
old-fashioned values of small-town, rural families who just want their children
to get married and continue the family line.
I look
forward to reading and reviewing this novel myself, and if you want to know
more about the author, see
her website for social media links and news about her next book.
