  1. This book opens in a Virginia setting where twin, Francis Keyanna Livingston, struggles with her sexual identity. Consciously, she knows that she is not the typical female. Subconsciously, where she mostly dwells to escape reality, she enjoys living her life from the way she wears her hair and clothes to being referred to as a masculine figure. It’s not until Francis’ mother, Diane Livingston, feels that Francis is the karma from her own haunting experiences, that she consistently makes comments about her sexuality hoping that she’d be more accepting of her femininity. Diane is in for a huge surprise when she finds out the route that her daughters choose to conquer love. In addition, Frankie, as she is affectionately called, fights to stay connected to her childhood friends and other family members while discovering their own personal problems, which keep them all searching for a way out.

    1. Yes, I review self-published books. Can you send me the title of your novel so I can read the synopsis?

  2. I sent you a email yesterday 06-02-14. I have sent two copies of my book “A Tear From A Black Rainbow” to your p.o. box. They should arrive by Monday or Tuesday. Thank for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Enjoy the read! Author Lesa Tondylear Heard.

  3. Hi Sistahs!
    I am a black lesbian who just coauthored and selfpublished my first novel. It is the first in a trilogy. Each book is a series of novellas – only one of the novellas (out of 6) is told from the perspective of a black lesbian, although 2 others deal with queerness and race. Is this enough to get a review? You can see the book here btw: http://www.Amazon.com/dp/B014RGVF60
    Thanks so much!
