About the author
Karin Bishop
37 books63 followersI started writing as a child, and won my first national writing award in sixth grade. I edited and wrote for my high school and college creative writing magazines, but then life got in the way and didn’t write fiction for years—I wrote for hire. Magazine articles (in music and travel), advertising copy, corporate newsletters and software manuals paid the bills. I have always been interested in the discovery of a person’s true nature and sexual identity, and began exploring different literary genres and structures to tell those important stories.

RTC. This has a lot of deeper layers, got to sleep on it.
OK, so I stumbled about this book when I compared one of my friend’s here on Goodreads book list with mine. Since I have myself begun my true professional career as a roadie, I am always interested in romances set in that environment, if only to find out, if the author knows about the industry. Here, on the surface, there are enough technical terms, proof, that she at least red up on it a lot,but not all the terms are in the right context or spelled wrong, but that’s neither here or there as the writing and plotting is good.
It got very interesting for me, when I got to discover another deeper level of this novel, that held a lot of insight about the thoughts and feelings on Suzie, the main character that speak of either a lot of professional or personal experience with male to female trans individuals. As a sapphic transwoman myself, and what is more, with enough professional experience in counselling I was intrigued. Even more so, when Suzie Fairchild, the main character more of less voiced what I put as dedication to all technicians in the entertainment industry in my novel “The Princess Of Lights.”
What I always wonder about, is why it is generally assumed, that all male to female trans individuals turn out to become totally straight heterosexual girls. I didn’t myself and know more than one supposedly heterosexual couple, who happily stayed married or, where legally required to divorce and then re-married after the former husbands transition as a lesbian couple.
A recent worldwide survey revealed the fact, that only 19% of all individuals who professed themselves as on the trans on the trans part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, said they identified as heterosexual after their transition. So the assumption is definitely way besides our actual reality.

Having finished the first book of this four part series and all in all enjoyed the read enough for a four star rating, I am going to finish the series, unless it goes too far into fairytale country with the experiences of Suzie with the very biased industry and over the top with the acceptance of her in a more close reality social context.

It's rare to read a transition story so pleasant. It's a bit of a (non-magical) fantasy in some ways, but no spoilers! Much of the story focuses on our main character coming to terms with living as a girl while in a popular indie band on tour (not arenas, driving from town to town to play clubs). It seems clear that Karin Bishop knows a thing or three about the music scene, and transition. This is light reading and healing
