Jukebox: A Love Story



Sooooooooooooo. Lipstick has some big news that I've yet to officially announce here on our blog....

My stellar, rockstar literary agent, Holly Bemiss, sold my debut novel, Jukebox to Bella Books. It will be sizzling on bookshelves in November of this year.

In short, Jukebox is a coming-of-age love story, chronicling the heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting tale about two debutantes who fall in love--with each other. More>>

I've been working on Jukebox since the beginning of time, it seems; well, at least the beginning of my lesbian time. It started out as my senior thesis at Pacific University, while I was in their creative writing program and has since evolved in many incarnations. In 2004, the manuscript, while a work in progress, won a generous Filmmaker Fund grant from POWER UP.

You can read an excerpt from the novel at http://www.jukeboxnovel.com/


Since Holly sold it, I've been working with Katherine V. Forrest on editorial and she's phenomenal.

I've also adapted the story into a screenplay. When I finished the first draft in October, I sent it to Power Up, who gave me incredibly, insightful notes (thank you Chris, et al.). After I finish with my edits for Bella Books, I'll be back in the saddle again tearing the screenplay apart and reworking it. More on that down the road, as it evolves. (It will one day be a feature film and I'll be directing it. First, though, I've just got to get some more experience under my belt and check a few more things off my "to do" list.)
