Reviews:Bryn Hammond on Goodreads wrote:

You never knew what’s on the bill next in this wide range of tales. I won’t name my faves because I experienced them as a sequence where each felt new and interesting.

In all of them, people living their queer lives, often in tension with the tropes, pushing stories in different directions. This did add up to an interrogation of the genre, which co-existed with the genre homage. A bunch of well-constructed stories that deconstruct – and re-construct – the Western!

LGBTQ+ representation is across the spectrum. Lesbians do very well, just saying.

Hugely enjoyable.


About the Author

Ordinary people are extraordinary. We can all aspire to decency, generosity, respect, honesty – and the power of love (all kinds of love!) can help us grow into our best selves.

I write stories about ‘ordinary’ people finding their answers in themselves and each other. I write about friends and lovers, and the families we create for ourselves. I explore the depth and the meaning, the fun and the possibilities, in ‘everyday’ experiences and relationships. I believe that embodying these things is how we can live our lives more fully.

Creative works help us each find our own clarity and our own joy. Readers bring their hearts and souls to reading, just as authors bring their hearts and souls to writing – and together we make a whole.

Julie Bozza. Quirky. Queer. Sincere.
