“This Book Was Comforting”
Some titles continue to resonate with readers for many years after they are first published—which is the fortunate case for my anthology Am I Blue? Coming Out from the Silence. In cases such as this, it’s always a pleasure to hear from a now-adult reader who remembers a book from first reading it as a young person. Here’s one such review for Am I Blue? from Velvet G., found on Amazon:“This book is one of many that I purchased as a personal collection when I was a teenager and felt very alone in my queer identity. There are many short stories included, some funny, some sad and then uplifting. I would recommend it to young and older readers alike who are feeling alone in their journey. This book was comforting.”
