EDIT: I am leaving this post up to show you how my self-designed covers used to look! Why all the feathers? Well, you’ll have to read the story to find out.
The eighteenth novella is an F/F story set in West Hollywood and is my play on the famous/not famous trope. Click the image below for product link!
The main characters here are very present in the series, which means that - as in the case of Andy (EXPOSURE) - the timeline of characters and events had to be very carefully referenced so that ye writer did not trip over herself.
STRIPPED is the story of Dana, an actress who performs with the Underground Cabaret as a pole dancer, and Rory. Rory is the Cabaret’s stripper, Best of L.A. two years running, and one of my favorite characters ever. She is much less like me than most of my other protagonists. Maybe that’s why it took me this long to do this story.
Bits of Rory & Dana’s history have bubbled up before, most notably in the work-in-progress long novel, and that was what really prompted this story at this time.
Because there was a time before they were a couple, and before the Underground Cabaret existed. This story is about that time.
Also present in STRIPPED are Andy - again! - Dmitri and Patrick. I’ve yet to decide if Dmitri and Patrick will get their own story. They are a “done deal” throughout the series and I’d have to go back in time even more, in order to capture their beginnings. In any case, I was able to give them some nice moments while fitting them into Dana and Rory’s story.
