    About this ebook

    Seda is very far away from home. In fact, in England she's very away from everything and everybody: the people she loves and the strangers she talks to every day. Deep down, she's starting to wonder if she gave up the chance to go back with her mother for nothing more than a chance at a career, if the price of success really is everything else she wants.

    Then she meets Shla, someone as incapable of giving up as she is, and things start making sense again. Passion stops looking like obsession and more like the strength she's always believed made her unique. But maybe Shla, simultaneously learning to walk again and catching up after years of neglecting school, is a little too unique herself. How is Seda supposed to keep her passion to herself in the face of someone maybe even more passionate than she is herself?

    This story includes graphic references to disability, some making out, family, friendship and food. F/F.

    Aska J. Naiman

    Aska J Naiman is an English Literature MA graduate with a lot of story ideas and not enough time to write them. She is primarily interested in transformation. The transformative power of fiction in people's lives, the transformations we all go through as we grow. What happens when you become a werewolf? And when you become a member of the opposite sex sometimes the same way other people sit or stand? Changing is in the very nature of being alive and Aska thinks we all want to be a little better, a little different than we are, a little more daring and sexier and braver. Maybe we can and maybe we can't, but in books everything is possible and there are no limits. She alternates between m/m and f/m shifter stories (okay, that once) and f/f young adult coming of age stories about girls who are different in more ways than one. She's currently working on the story of L, music aficionado Venezuelan adoptee rebelling against her English parents who meets the apparently perfect teacher's pet and talented painted, Kai, only to discover Kai hasn't got it as easy as she'd imagine.
