The post
that follows was written by TC Hart, two women who write as a team. The
Washington state natives are not only co-writers but best friends as well.
Tasha is an educator and married with four boys. Cheryl is a nurse,
married with three boys and two girls. In their own words, “We love to travel,
go to the theater and try new things. Our latest adventure is zip lining which
should be interesting since we are both terrified of heights.”
They wrote Second Sight because they believe in the
importance of a caring, compassionate future generation that celebrates
everyone’s uniqueness. Welcome to Book Blather, Tasha and Cheryl.
Are teenagers ready for gay characters in their fiction? We, TC Hart
believe so. As friends we have always felt strongly about celebrating
diversity. We also know that young people will be the ones to create our
future. We want that future to be one of love, understanding and compassion.
After researching
we found a lack of teen literature that had healthy gay role models as main
characters. While there were several books that dealt with the difficulty many
young gay people have, and these are important, we also wanted books that showed
a new generation of acceptance. A generation that honored not only one’s
sexuality, but everyone’s unique individuality.
We are so excited about the release
of Second Sight and have already started
outlining the next book in the series. We hope to continue to create positive
characters that inspire our world to be a better place. Second Sight is
available at Smashwords and Amazon.com.
Blurb: Being gay in high school is
not always easy, and now Kyle is having unexplained visions. His friend, Jenny,
is convinced that he is psychic. When thefts occur at school, Kyle realizes
that his visions may be the key to solving the crime, if only he could figure
them out! As editor of the school newspaper, Kyle almost has more on his plate
than he can deal with. When the news staff tries to figure out who the thief
is, personalities clash and tensions rise. But the challenges will form
friendships that Kyle never would have imagined. And Kyle's world will be
changed forever.
"So I'm both gay and psychic?
That's a lot for one high school guy to handle."
