Come See the New Video for CHANGING FACES!
Folks, there is now a video for CHANGING FACES!
If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know what CHANGING FACES is; it’s my LGBTQ-friendly fantasy novel about two graduate students and clarinetists, Elaine and Allen. Elaine is bisexual and gender-fluid; Allen is a typical, heterosexual male. They love each other very much, but Elaine has kept from Allen her gender-fluid/transgender nature. (He does know she’s bisexual and doesn’t care.)
Now, why did she do that? It wasn’t a conscious choice, exactly…she’d been raped years ago, a gang-rape, while a foster child, and the system failed her. That she could find a way to love truly after all that was remarkable, and Allen knew that part of her. (Before you ask, Elaine uses “she/her” pronouns, that being her preference.) But she was terrified that Allen would not understand, and so kept this from him, until one night it all bubbled up.
And he was floored.
Anyway, this isn’t explaining the video, is it? (Or is it?) Because you could instead be watching it, right now, thanks to my friend and fellow author Kayelle Allen. She put a link to it on her blog, and that link is to her YouTube Channel…but really, I need to show you what she did, shouldn’t I? 😉
Isn’t that great?
And in case you missed it, a few years ago I wrote a blog for Kayelle called, “Writing a Bisexual Character.” It talks more about why Elaine is the way she is, and how I did my best to be authentic to her experiences throughout.
Anyway, want some links? (Sure you do. Why not? The e-book’s only ninety-nine cents, after all!)

Have at! (Then come back and let me know, OK? Sometimes writing seems like shouting into the void.)
I love your story and the idea behind it, Barb. Was honored to make this for you. I hope any readers who haven’t tried the book will go do that. 🙂

Thank you so much, Kayelle. I appreciated what you did so much, words cannot possibly express it. 🙂
