As a Navy vet, I just call that being a sailor, of course. Nothing warms the heart like a well presented port o' call. ahem..why I am here. This story, however, does bring up some of the frustration and anxiety of "playing it straight" when so much can be on the line. DADT is a NoGo and the US needs to recognise that even gay/lesbian blood runs red, white and blue.

When I go back and read the review, I believe my question “do straight women really just flip a switch . . ." would have been more on point if it had been worded “does any women really just flip a switch…?” After all, it's not so much about admitting the attraction and love, as it is about sucking in a big lungful of air, being soulfully honest, and suddenly living out loud in a world that is unpredictable and not always kind. <br /><br />To be fair, it really is a question that can be answered differently by just about everyone. Still, it did make me stop to ask the question. Again, thanks for the input. - SalemSalem Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272199999239458371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507656866007788472.post-66391262483061385822011-07-03T07:47:32.685-04:002011-07-03T07:47:32.685-04:00Salem, thanks again for adding My Soldier Too to y...Salem, thanks again for adding My Soldier Too to your list of books to read and review. The feedback is enormously helpful for understanding what worked and didn’t work in the story for readers. Your question, “do straight women really just flip a switch” is an important one. I grappled up front with whether Isabella had too easily come to terms with having fallen in love with Madison when I wrote MST. Ultimately, for a variety of reasons, including the power of love at first sight and meeting one’s soul mate I decided to keep her trajectory the way that I did. However, in hindsight, I could have done a better job of explaining why. At the end of the day, I think the answer to your question depends on the circumstances and people involved because love is both complicated and simple.Bev Prescottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507656866007788472.post-24240803233800643832011-06-20T19:45:47.937-04:002011-06-20T19:45:47.937-04:00snarky but with a bit of truth to it though....i h...snarky but with a bit of truth to it though....i have heard the thought expressed several times....even by me AND the person that i was involved with at the time:)<br />AND just to put the other thought to rest NO there was inkling that i was gay before -- no crushes, no longings, no cravings nada zip for another girl until.....:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507656866007788472.post-35331277667109408442011-06-19T21:00:07.621-04:002011-06-19T21:00:07.621-04:00Hey, Anonymous!
