A few years ago I got the idea for this story and started writing it because of something I have seen. Again, the story itself and the events surrounding the storyline are not about anyone in particular, but what I have witnessed is the inspiration behind the book.

 I have observed a straight or better yet, a heterosexual woman approach another woman with boldness due to her physical or sexual attraction to that female. I have always been fascinated by this only because I didn’t understand exactly why it happens and I still don’t, well not completely. Fact of the matter is, this type of thing happens quite often.

 There are so many straight women who are comfortable in their straightness who find themselves infatuated, intrigued or attracted to another female for many reasons. As I understand it, it’s only that ONE female that they are captivated by. It may be the swagger, sex appeal or flip-flop personality of the other woman that causes curiosity, but whatever it is, its how Straight with Options came about.

 By no means is the subject matter of the book strictly about what I have described, it’s about something deeper. I really believe that the woman to woman attraction is a very small part of the story even though it’s evident in the book. The novel is more about friendship, love and acceptance of whatever situation a person may be faced with. Betrayal, unfaithfulness and dishonesty are also key factors in the book, but friendship in my opinion is what I feel the story is really about. Definitely read it for yourself to find out what I mean.  

 Now the story title, Straight with Options actually came from a close friend of mine who immediately came up with the title after reading the manuscript. Initially I wanted to call it “Straight”, but that title was taken and I also felt that the “with Options” sparked curiosity better. So there you have it, the reason behind Straight with Options.

 Is this the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Or did I leave something out? I guess that’s for me to know…LOL.
