About this blog

Starting in January of 2011, I wrote--in absurd detail, most of the time--about my experience of realizing I was queer/lesbian and leaving my marriage, at 29 years of age, and starting a new chapter as a new lesbian. A year later, I started to share that writing, and my crazy and exhilarating experience, with all of you.

That was 6.5 years ago, and now, 110,000 pageviews later, I’m finally about to release my first book, a memoir, the full, messy, sometimes cringe-inducing story of how I went from straight and married in suburbia to…not.  

To that end, the bulk of the first 1.5 years of this blog are no longer available here, as they have now grown and matured into the end of said memoir, which you can find out more about, and read a sneak peek of, here. 

There is still plenty to read here though, since life has a funny way of going on, and there have been plenty of ups and downs (and more downs, and then ups!) in the past 6 years that I have continued to document extremely sporadically. Sorry about that. 

So, to read the WHOLE story, stay tuned for my book “Married Divorced and Gay by 30”, and have some fun in the meantime getting lost in the archives, or check out my “Best of” page if you really just don’t have time for all the drama, and just want to cut to the chase. (I respect that. I can be a bit long-winded.) 

I'd love to hear your thoughts, reactions, and opinions as you read, and to hear about your dating stories, someone's got to have a crazier story than mine, right? Tell me! I'm nosy. Comment on the blog or find me on twitter and tell me everything. (I also host the New Lesbian podcast with Elle, so check that out for some LOLZ, and some pretty decent life advice IMHO.)
Thanks for reading about the ups and downs of my life as a new lesbian. Even now, so many years later, it all still feels very new.
