Ava and Patience, a Purple Love Story (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Ava Thomas is an attractive, wealthy, older single Black woman who practices abstinence, that is, until she meets a shy, quiet bartender at her friend's private club who loves purple as much as she does. Patience Meeks has been observing Ava throughout her dinner with friends. When a drink order from Ava's table comes to Patience, she decides to mix a special concoction in honor of the sexy purple designer dress Ava is wearing. The tasty purple drink and Patience's quiet observations during dinner arouse Ava's curiosity. Patience feels foolish as she stutters and stumbles over her words and simply walks away from Ava in mid-sentence and hides in the employee lounge until Ava leaves. What should be the end of the connection between the two women is not. Ava wants to know more about the shy, female bartender who loves purple, has a devilish cockatoo named Socrates, and loves taking pictures of anything and everything, including "night people." And hence begins a seesaw relationship between the two women. Is a love of purple, pictures, and birds enough to keep two women from far different worlds together? Find out in Ava & Patience, a purple love story.

Autor

B.L. has always been in love with books and the words in them. She never thought she could create something with the words she knew. When she read 'To Kill A Mocking Bird,' she realized everyday experiences could be written about in a powerful, memorable way. She wasn't quite sure what to do with that knowledge so she kept on reading.

Walter Mosley's short stories about Easy Rawlins and his friends encouraged BL to start writing in earnest. She felt she had a story to tell...maybe several of them. She'd always kept a diary of some sort, scraps of paper, pocketsize, notepads, blank backs of agency forms, or in the margins of books. It was her habit to make these little notes to herself. She thought someday she'd make them into a book.

She wrote a workplace memoir based on the people she met during her 20 years as a property manager of city-owned buildings. Writing the memoir, led her to consider writing books that were not job-related. Once again, she did...producing romance novels with African American lesbians as main characters. She wrote the novels because she couldn't find stories that matched who she wanted to read about ...over forty, African American and female.
