Today's #lesficfri quote is from TURNING IN. This collection of short stories follows Cass/Bren after Turning Point and Turn for Home. 6 stories of happy wlw coupling and blended family events mybook.to/LZTurningIn quote is from story 1 "The End of the Beginning"

Cover image for TURNING IN by Lara Zielinsky features two women, one brunette, one blonde, kissing. Quote on the image of an open book page next to it reads: Cassidy leaned forward until she had her lips against Brenna’s ear and felt the soft strands of auburn hair tickling her lips. "They might but, frankly, we’ve been good all day. We deserve a little time to ourselves."

#lesficfri spotlight on "pretend" Today's quote comes from my FFM swingers-to-polyamory romance WE THREE mybook.to/We3Three, book 1 in a duology Context: Elena (35f) explains her open marriage to Eric (40m) to new sexual partner Jess (25f)

Lara Zielinsky@lczielinsky· Mar 15

#TrueConfessionsDay March 15. Brenna discovers her true self when she gets involved with her costar Cassidy in TURNING POINT, a #sapphic-awakening #romance set in 2000. Read their journey: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG8N4DNC

In a heart shaped bubble at the center is a brunette woman cupping the cheeks of a blond woman as they stare at each other's lips. The words above the bubble read: True Confessions Day, March 15, Brenna & Cassidy. Words overlaying the bubble read: With you, I discovered who I truly am. Under the bubble are the words: TURNING POINT. LARA ZIELINSKY, and a URL: mybook.to/LZTurningPoint

At the top is the words "First-time Sapphic"
Underneath is an excerpt:
Brenna hadn't given a second thought to going weeks without seeing either her first husband, Tom, or her second, Kevin. She had attributed that to their mutual understanding of conflicting schedules, or knowing their responsibilities had been as busy and demanding as hers. She knew that didn't actually account for her diffidence to being apart from her spouses. Her new relationship made her feel so different, and not just because of the obvious difference that her lover was a woman. She called Cassidy nearly every night, just to hear the sound of her voice, to share a thought or two, or find out about her day.
Next to the end of the excerpt is the cover of the book TURN FOR HOME by Lara Zielinsky and the url mybook.to/LZTurn4Home
