Dear reader,Straight Stalk was born of my crush on Thom Filicia from the original version of Queer Eye. One day I thought, I wish Thom wasn’t gay. Then almost immediately thought, What if Thom wasn’t gay?! I think you can see where that idea led… Straight Stalk, in turn, ended up providing the inspiration for my first YA book, Oh. My. Gods., but that’s a tale for another book. The City Chicks series continues with born-and-bred New Yorker Cassie’s story in Trying Texas.
