Saints (The Radicci Sisters Book 3) was released 6 years ago this month.

Possibly one of my darkest novels that explored child sex abuse in daycare centers. I'm sure I was influenced by my own children going into daycare. Expressing my fears or distrust in authority and two-faced people. I'm also proud of the mystery build up to the twist; a fun moment writing i won't get back :-P

Anyway, it's available in all eLibraries and stores.

Adachi at Sunset <Continued from Part 1 above)

“Cute,” Shimamura thought while studying Adachi’s face. The golden light lit it up, highlighting the features she loved. “How did I get so lucky?” The words almost slipped out. “What the heck,” she thought and said it.

Adachi blushed redder than the rose-tinted clouds outside their window. Shimamura smiled. No one but Adachi affected her that way.

Shimamura tried not to tease her wife too much. It was fun, but dangerous. Too much teasing could put Adachi out of action for hours. Once she had gone too far, causing Adachi to bang her head against the wall. That wasn’t fun at all and had terrified her.

“So what were you thinking about?” she asked.

Adachi just looked down and tugged harder on her hair.

“Okay, that’s not working,” Shimamura thought. She took a piece of paper she had been jotting notes on, walked over, and handed it and a pen to Adachi.

“Write it down for me. Pweese.” Shimamura had learned that writing sometimes helped. “Pweese” was a risk. Adachi could never resist when she said it like that — unless her brain melted. And that was a real risk.

That time she had frozen in the middle of the grocery store had been a nightmare. Or when she hid in the stationery store. Who would’ve thought a place that small had such a good hiding spot?

Fortunately, Adachi survived the massive brain storm “Pweese” produced and made several attempts at writing. She’d start writing, pause, then furiously scratch it out. She finally took a deep breath and hurriedly wrote something.

Shimamura had been waiting for that and snatched the paper before Adachi could scribble it out.

Shimamura read, “I was remembering how you looked at the CARNIVAL.”

“You mean when we kiss under the sunset?” Shimamura asked.

That was too much for poor Adachi, who dove under her blanket, the one with the horrible Shimamura store logo in big letters.

Adachi at Sunset

“I hate this,” Shimamura grumbled. “When you get off work, that should be it. It’s worse than school. At least I could fall asleep pretending I was working on homework. My boss will yell at…”

Shimamura looked up from her papers scattered on the table to Adachi, who was on the couch with her favorite blanket. Adachi was staring vacantly past her. It was still embarrassing how Adachi would stare at her while pretending to watch TV, but Shimamura was used to it. Looking past her was a new, irritating surprise.

“What are you looking at?” Shimamura asked.

As expected, Adachi’s eyes darted around, and she tugged at her hair.

Not receiving an answer, Shimamura looked behind her. “Wow, glorious.” It was indeed. Golden light illuminated the sky and red tinted the edges of the clouds.

“Were you admiring the sunset?” Adachi was usually oblivious to things like that, so Shimamura’s curiosity was piqued.

Adachi shook her head yes and then violently no. “No,” she muttered, looking both alarmed and confused.

@ashleyspencer @dquinn03 Also, I think some authors are #ActuallyAutistic and haven’t realised it yet. They write characters that they say are not Autistic, but they model them on what they know, unidentified Autism…

Eg. Matt Haig realising he’s Autistic, I’m reading his books at the moment and so many Autistic themes and personalities.

I think Fredrik Backman author of ‘A Man Called Ove’ may be too?

@Pxrpleberry @actuallyautistic I was pleasantly surprised by having an overall favorable opinion of #asweseeit despite some flaws because it was created by the same guy who wrote #parenthoodnbc which I found extremely offensive and inaccurate. It’s cool to see that people can grow and gain a better understanding of the #actuallyautistic community! #autisticcharacters #representationmatters #autistic #neurotypicals #neurodivergent #autism #neurospicy #autisticpeople
