Review: It Doesn't Matter Who the Author is if the Story is Good!

Apparently, "Robin Roseau" is a pseudonym for heterosexual male author Joe P. Larson. I say, so what? If the story is good and true to the women who love women perspective it was written for, why does the sex or the sexual preference of the author matter? Authors write STORIES. There's no requirement that they resemble their characters. If you want proof of this, notice that about 50% of the fiction designed for gay males and the straight and lesbian women who read it too is written by straight women. I'm getting off of my soap box now.This is a good short story. It's written from a perspective that mirrors what many women actually go through; marriage to a man only to realize years later that, that is not who they really are. After divorcing, and well past their baby dyke years when like minded women are presumably easier to find, they go in search of a relationship with maybe a little confidence but sometimes not. This is that story. It's well told and more than a little bit steamy with a realistic sex scene that you would swear was written by a woman who knows how to love a woman. You go Joe!
