Part of Series
Osmosis is the fifteenth installment of the I Found My Heart in San Francisco series. A gradual, often unconscious process of absorption or learning. It's been six months since the trauma of Karma. Both Jamie and Ryan are slowly but steadily regaining their footing. When they have time alone, everything seems just as it had been before Christmas. But their alone time is severely compromised. With each of them playing a varsity sport, their weekends are always given over to their teams—rather than each other. Since neither of them would consider quitting, their options are few. So they're committed to wringing every bit of togetherness out of their schedules that they can. Mia and Jordan have a lot of time alone—but Jordan's working so hard she spends much of that time sound asleep. The demands on her body and mind are overwhelming, but Mia's learning how to be a supportive partner…despite being disconnected from all of her friends and family. Luckily, loving Jordan makes every sacrifice easily worth it. Catherine's having a tougher time of it. Her divorce is causing her more turmoil than she'd expected, and having her lover so far away makes her feel very, very alone. Maybe it would be better if she started over. Conor's all in favor of that…especially if he can be part of her re-start. Every member of the clan experiences some growth pains, but one thing holds them all together. Love is the answer, no matter the question.
Author
Susan X Meagher was born in southern Illinois and grew up in East St Louis. She attended college in Chicago and started her working career there. She and her partner moved to the Los Angeles area in the late 80's. It was there that she started to write. Her first few books were simply posted on the web and became the I Found My Heart in San Francisco series. In 2002 she moved to New York and divides her time between Manhattan and the Jersey Shore. She has published thirteen books in the series and has gone on to write many individual books as well. She has partnered with other authors on two short story books and has written many stories that have been published in other mainstream anthologies. Susan is active in the lesbian author community and loves to attend Women's week at Provincetown and the GCLS annual conventions. Her stories revolve around the relationships that two women can build when given a chance and how those relationships can strengthen the individual and the partnership. Her genre is lesbian romance/fiction and she believes strongly in the happy ending that we all so deserve. Susan X Meagher was awarded a 2011 Lesbian Fiction Readers’ Choice Award for Favorite Lesbian Fiction Writer. She is the recipient of the 2014 Alice B. Medal for her body of work. From the author's website: I live in New York with my spouse, Carrie. We've lived in Chicago and Los Angeles for significant periods, but New York fits us very well. I love to discuss my work and fiction in general. My goal in writing is to explore feelings. I want to entertain, but I also want to make people think. I've heard that life is all about finding out who we are. To me, life if about finding out who other people are. I'm interested in the small details of life, that's how a story about two young women in college is slowly becoming a 26 book series. The joke in Seinfield was that it was about nothing. I feel the same about most of my books. They are about the many things that happen when nothing is happening. The small joys and sorrows of everyday life can be fascinating, especially if you care about the people involved. I try to create characters that will make a reader care deeply. I'm always interested in hearing how close I am to that goal. So please drop me a line whenever you have a comment or a question about a story. Writing is a pretty solitary pursuit and it's great to know that I'm not alone.
