Working on New Stories

I spent some time this past week starting on two new stories. One adult lesbian romance that I've actually been working on in my head for about six years.  It's about an woman who is married to a televangelist who goes to South Africa on a mission and is raped with two new friends who are lesbians. They are raped by a gang who are part of the groups who are "corrective raping" lesbians in South Africa.  The main character Catherine had been very complacent in her life before this happened, always doing what she was expected but this event changes her profoundly.  She meets a prosecuting attorney, Elizabeth through her parents and the two women become friends.  Their friendship grows into more.  Their new relationship will be put to a huge test when Elizabeth is put on a team to help prosecute Catherine's husband for charges that may prove that he has been the leader of a group in the United States that have been "corrective raping" lesbians.

The second story I'm having more trouble with. It's a young adult lesbian romance about a seventeen year old lesbian whose parents move the family from Indianapolis to rural Kentucky.  The girl thinks it's because her father caught her kissing her girlfriend goodbye but it turns out that to be much more than she thinks it is.  She will have to come to terms with her own selfishness and her role in her family.  She is made to realize how selfish and childish she has been by a girl who lives for her family and is terrified of them finding out that she is a lesbian.  Like I said, I'm still having trouble with the details on this one but like all stories, they will work themselves out.
