Loving Artemis
by Janet Mason
Genre: LGBTQ F/F Coming of Age

Picture
Artemis found the love of her life when she met Linda, but their passionate relationship fizzles when Artemis lands herself on the other side of the law. Pulling the pieces of her life together, Artemis rekindles her relationship with Linda, and together they raise a daughter.

Meanwhile, Grace, running from her past, starts a life with Thalia. At a pride parade, Grace spots someone who reminds her of Artemis, who she was briefly involved with in her youth. Old feelings are rekindled. A lifetime of rejection, abandonment, and fleeing rears its head. Now she must come to terms with her past, put her relationship with Artemis to rest--or risk losing everything.

Artemis and Grace embark on a journey of revolution, love, and marriage and discover that love finds us when we least expect it.

​Art felt the bike purring under her as she gunned along the highway. She looked down and saw the blur of asphalt. She looked straight ahead. It was mid-morning on Friday and the road was empty. The sun cast a long shadow in front of her.
The shadow looked like a black cartoon of a larger-than-life person on an even larger motorcycle. It looked like something she might have seen on Saturday morning television when she was a kid. She grinned and accelerated more until the pointer on the odometer reached forty-five. Billboards blurred into trees. The highway passed over a wide stream that she could see on her right as the highway turned into a flat bridge.
It was warm for early November. Wind tousled her hair; the sunglasses fit perfectly. Everything was darker and more vibrant. The trees on the side of the highway shed their leaves in a blur of red, orange, yellow. Golden light was everywhere. Art knew the chlorophyll in the leaves captured the sun's rays in the summer, keeping the leaves green. She had learned that in the autumn when the days are bright, but the sun's rays are further away, the leaves take their bright colors from another group of pigments called anthocyanins. This was a process of photosynthesis; science. But as the leaves passed her in a bright autumn blur, it felt like magic.
She was so close to the road that she felt like she was a part of it. Her bike was more powerful than Tommy's. The engine roared. It felt like flying. As long as she kept her wits about her and didn't wipe out, she could go anywhere.

How long did it take you to write your book?

This was a work in progress. I guess like many writers, I used details from my life even though it is fiction. (And history had to change also.) So the long answer is that it took me about fifty years. But the actual writing was only about four years!

I love the cover! When I first saw it, it immediately reminded me of the town I grew up in where Loving Artemis is based. The train tracks worked for me on a metaphorical level also. The two girls walking down them are going somewhere --- into their lives!
