Oops. I thought I was posting to Ian Randal Strock's journal when I made my last comment so I'm not sure how it showed up here. All I can say is that if it weren't for Ian I'd probably still be using a pad and a pen. I really am a Renaissance woman. give me anything with a hammer and nails, a paintbrush and a canvas, a needle and thread, and I'm

A second moral: no matter what the editor says or does, it's your name on the cover, so make sure everything inside is exactly as you want it.

Carren, thanks for the work you are doing. I was one of these women, too, and spent years in therapy and was myself a psychotherapist trying to make sense of it all. I wish I had had your book back then and will certainly spread the word about it now whenever I can.

I have a baby out, too, about this very subject, except it is a novel. I am a professional writer and wrote the novel that I wished I could have found during that initial awakening. If you're so inclined, please check it out at www.SeekingSaraSummers.com. I think it could also be a help to women out there.

Keep up the good, good work.

Thank you for your kind words about my book. Please feel free to tell your friends about it. Also, best wishes with your baby, "Seeking Sara Summers."

I wanted to share something exciting that happened since the second edition of my book, "Married Women Who Love Women" came out. A couple of women approached me about the possibly of using my book for their Book Groups, and then having me come to talk to them. One said, "we're always wanting to learn and to understand new things." I guess that shows that people are becoming more comfortable with the topic. These were straight women's book groups.

When the first edition came out, some women could hardly pick the book up. I do understand though. There was a time during my early discovery that I couldn't pick up a book with the word 'lesbian' on the cover. Now I realize that if anyone has a problem with who or what I am, the problem is theirs, not mine. I'll let you know if their groups go for the idea. And if you belong to a Book Group, or know anyone else who does, please feel free to suggest my book to them.
