As her current partner presses for a baby, Kirsten finds herself secretly scouring the internet, torn between the guilt of dismantling her present life and the addictive allure of a mysterious online connection named Taggart. Can Kirsten find the courage to let go of her past, or will a second chance at fate rescue her from the life she's accidentally built? 4-star review from a reader on Amazon.com: “The course of true love never did run smooth” applies very well to this LesFic debut novel. Told in duel timelines by our imperfect protagonist Kirsten. We meet her twice—initially as she realizes she and her partner of five years are not on the same page. She doesn’t handle it well and honestly I struggled to like her at all—she makes bad choices, betrays her partner and seems very insensitive and self centered. More than once I thought “Who hurt you?” Then we meet her in her “coming of age” that becomes her “coming out” story. I really loved this younger Kirsten aged 11-16. She is smart, self aware and adventurous. Her first love story is handled with a tremendous amount of honesty, tenderness and respectful authenticity. The amount of literature and 1970/80s references brought a smile to my face more than once. Themes of first love, same sex attraction, family life, coming out in a small town, reconciling conservative religious values resonated with me on a profound level. Kirsten remains imperfect but as these layers are peeled back you begin empathize with her bravely living her truth. I highly recommend this book! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecade66a9658a4c9591a5c8/1598830885719-GTP68W3Y7I579SSG18XO/Short+Story%2C+The+Meaning+of+Black%2C+Scratch+Anthology+Volume+2%2C+Andrea+Renee+Johnson Home - Fiction - "The Meaning of Black" won second place in short fiction in the scratch literary contest and was featured in scratch ANTHOLOGY Volume II. A review from one of the contest judges: "MEANING OF BLACK is a mystical story full of twists and turns that reaches a satisfactory conclusion. The two main characters are perfectly drawn and the relationship between them is temporary but satisfying." https://www.andreareneejohnson.com/home/spoken-word monthly 0.5 2020-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecade66a9658a4c9591a5c8/1598837635030-HQEJAWZX3QCIS12H3TRE/andJuliet+Peg+Cover%2C+Andrea+Renee+Johnson%2C+spoken+word%2C+electronica%2C+dubstep Home - Spoken Word - andJuliet: Peg Spoken word/dubstep/electronica collaboration with UK DJ Dante Jones andjuliet is Dante Jones on noise and Andrea Renee Johnson on syllables. Jones resides and creates in London. Johnson lives, writes, and reads in San Francisco. The cacophony left behind in the wake of their collaboration can perhaps best be described by Johnson’s words in one of their recordings: ”…Some might call this spillage the poetry of the mad, the city reeking of it…disgusting and…delicious…” Come. Eat. Enjoy. https://www.andreareneejohnson.com/home/poetry monthly 0.5 2020-09-13
