The slow burn of an attraction takes a heavy toll on two showrunners for a popular reality series in the novel "The Fifth Seduction." Julia and Mable embark on an unstoppable love that was five years in the making in the fifth season of their hit show. Location filming takes them around the globe, making their secret affair that began with one torrid weekend in Malibu, possible. But both women have other relationships, and those people eventually find out. Break-ups are hard and messy, but Julia and Mable decide to end their romance, once and for all, on the island of Majorca. But Lani, Julia's girlfriend, shows up in Spain and ruins that plan. Julia's unresolved feelings for Mable end up hurting all four people affected by the affair, and Julia and Mable's professional partnership can't survive. After much chaos, the two women finally meet at the beach house in Malibu, where it all began, to say goodbye. A tiny last mention of the affair in The Fifth Seduction. The book turns one in April. #excerpts #romance #fiction #fictionalCharacter #film #television #books #bookstodon #book #novel #novels #scribesAndMakers #writing #writers #writer #writersCoffeeClub #women #reality #heart #show #shows #chaos #feeling #author #authors #indie #indieAuthor #indieAuthors #loveStory #storytelling #story #writersOfMastodon #mastodon

Today in Labor History March 31, 1883: Cowboys in the Texas panhandle began a 2-and-a-half-month strike for higher wages. Investment firms from the East Coast and Europe were taking over the land and cutting benefits that cowboys had accustomed to, like keeping some horses for themselves and holding some of the land for their own small farming. New ranch owners were more interested in expanding holdings and increasing profits, forcing their hands to work entirely for wages, and maintaining all livestock entirely for the profit of the owners.

Media from as far away as Colorado accused the cowboys of being incendiaries, threatening to burn down the ranches, attacking ranchers, and indiscriminately killing cattle.

Today in Labor History March 31, 1809: Nikolai Gogol, the Russian-Ukrainian novelist, was born. Gogol was one of the first authors to use surrealism and absurdism (see “The Nose,” “The Overcoat,” and “Nevsky Prospekt.”) Many of his works satirized Russian political corruption, like “Dead Souls,” and the “Government Inspector.” He influenced several generations of writers, including Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Nabakov, Kafka and Flannery O’Connor. The gypsy punk band, Gogol Bordello, took their name from him.
