Coming 27 December from JMS Books, the Gigi duo of Dari & Rob continuing planning for their future together:

LONG BLURB:
After years apart and a joyful reunion, Special Agent Rob and Forensic Psychology student Dari are finally together and working out the details of their future. Yet during an in-home “get-away” weekend, Rob gifts Dari with a surprise they’ve craved all their life but also reveals a decision contradicting everything his partner has known about him. Their love is strong, their relationship committed, but how will such major changes affect their survival as a couple in a climate of political upheaval?

SHORT BLURB:
After years apart, Special Agent Rob and forensic psychology student Dari are finally a couple, but an in-home “get-away” weekend brings both joyful surprises and anxiety causing revelations about the future.

SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB:
Some surprises and revelations can give even happy couples anxiety!


Here’s Dari and Rob’s first story, “Gigi!” where you learn how they met and fell in love at a little convenience store in Deep South Alabama. If you read the genre, and would like a copy, let me know!

Description: “Too effeminate, too soft, too brown, Darren was a disappointment to his ex-military father almost since birth, but growing up in a small-town Alabama middle-class family, he lived a comfortable if lonely life … until coming out. Soon homeless with little more than the clothes on his back, he found work in a convenience store, living in the moment, shell-shocked and quietly hurting.

Rob barely survived the foster care system and set himself the goal of becoming a special agent, keeping others safe and protecting those in need. A job at the gas station is a means to that end, paying for his college courses while he hones his body and mind. Focused, driven, and disciplined … until he meets Darren. Will he risk his future to teach the vulnerable young man survival skills of the heart and body, or is there no chance for them to have a happy ending?”

THE PERSECUTION OF MILDRED DUNLAP

 By Paulette Mahurin

Email: ptmahurin@sbcglobal.net

ISBN # 978-0-9771866-1-7   Price: $14.95

Published March 23, 2012

Kindle Version FREE on AMAZON October 19-22, 2012

Description: The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for gross indecency under Britain’s recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When news of Wilde’s conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wilde’s imprisonment. It is a chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.

Editorial Reviews:

 “Paulette Mahurin’s first novel is surefooted and unflinching in its portrayal of a singular and unique character and her compelling struggles. Compassionate and confident, Mahurin allows Mildred’s story to burn through onto the page with all its inherent outrage and tenacious, abiding love. Here is a character we can champion—flawed, striving, surviving— and fully embrace in her awkward, beautiful navigation of a world that resists her in every way.”      Deb Norton, Playwrite/screenwriter of The Whole Banana

“If you need to question your values, read this book! The author captures the intolerance and hypocrisy of a 1895 Nevada town, and its transcendence in time through tolerance and understanding.  The angst and pain that two women feel daily, living the ‘lie’ of  their lesbian relationship, and the prejudice they must endure, is unconscionable.  I
was moved to tears by their struggle in the face of the conflicted values that continue to dominate our ‘modern’ society.”   –
William K. Fox, PhD, Professor of Zoology
