A word from The Glam Femme founder and editor, Patricia Martin:
This week’s “Femme Voices” will be a little different as we are taking a very small break from the series for the “holiday” and featuring some of my own fiction work.
This piece is an excerpt from something I wrote more than a decade ago that I hoped would become a book in the future. I wrote it when I was reflecting on a time in my life and knew that I needed to put pen to paper, literally. I wrote much of the entire piece in notebooks and on scraps of paper that I saved for years along with my many, many journals. At the time I wrote it, I considered this to be my own version of “hood lit“, which was one of my favorite genres to read.
Although this book has been put on hold so that I can focus on my fiction that centers queerness, this piece is still dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy!
