Coming In 2008...

Put Away Wet (August 2008)

Jocelyn “Joey” Fellows is having a bad day.

At twenty-tow, she’s a college dropout who just got savagely dumped by her ex, Psycho Barbie. Joey works as a waiter in a pretentious, er, upscale Buffalo restaurant, the Heritage Room, with her best friend Steve, a gorgeous serial dater and gay man candy.  He’s had enough of Joey crying in her beer over Psycho Barbie, and convinces her to get back on the horse. Joey is adamant that she doesn’t want a relationship. She needs time to heal and find out who she is. Steve informs her that she can find herself and get laid at the same time.

With Steve as her psycho-pimp, Joey goes online and posts a personal ad: Newbie seeking erotic adventures. Good-hearted, would-be ethical slut seeks experience. Train me. No men, no cheating, no relationships. Just good clean sexual fun.  Joey ends up going on quite a few never-before anticipated adventures, gets licked into shape, and discovers along the way a joy in sexuality, a new sense of self, and a woman, Leela, who teaches her how to embrace life, lust, and laughter.

Of Drag Kings & the Wheel of Fate, 2 ed.

Dr. Rosalind Olchawski is an expert on Shakespeare, Nineteenth century poetry, and being the best friend you've ever had.  She's been described so often as warm, Rosalind has come to think of herself as a sweater or a pair of mittens. 

One night on a blind date at a drag club in downtown Buffalo, Rosalind is mesmerized by the performance of the drag king Taryn.  Can a grown woman go mad over a girl who looks like a boy?  One night of adventure threatens to tear down everything Rosalind has come to believe about herself. 

Of Drag Kings & the Wheel of Fate is a novel about history, sex, drag, paganism, death, and the formation of family.  Using an ancient myth reset in the queer community in Buffalo, New York, Smith explores gender fluidity, sexual diversity, and the deeper questions of love and identity that make us who we are.

Burning Dreams

Life would be much easier for Rosalind Olchawski if she didn't have to wake up the morning after the fairy tale.

Falling abruptly in love with a much younger drag king, awakening to the passionate madness of life, and breaking barriers, internal and external, are all wonderful things.  But the past has a way of lingering and erupting into the present with devastating force, and sometimes love doesn't come with the white picket fence of our dreams.  Rosalind's former husband arrives unexpectedly in Buffalo, turning Rosalind's brand new life with her lover Taryn on its head.  Paul doesn't know Rosalind has fallen in love with a young woman and moved on with her life, and he wants her back.  Will Paul's intrusion destroy him, or the burning new life Rosalind has built? 

Sequel to Of Drag Kings and the Wheel of Fate.
