Seattleites have been waiting a very long time for a book that isn’t boring. Where the protagonist is not a perfectly healthy 100 pound 20 year old if we can even consider extremely thin to be healthy? We want more regular everyday people in our books. Some of us can’t see well. Some of us are neurodivergent or can’t hear without an aid. The average woman in America is 37 years old and 5’3 170. She is probably tired of reading about college students and young women who are her middle school weight in every novel. Literature should be a reflection of reality and not some fantasy land where we project our impossibly high standards on to “perfect” avatars of our desires. The main character of Never The Same is a 48 year old pansexual diabetic Police Chief who has worked her way up to the top. Never The Same has real conversations that sound like they actually happened in real life. There is a magical element to Never the Same which could make it comparable to The Magicians by Lev Grossman. The Murder mystery part makes it cling to Gone Girl. The author tries to keep your attention and the story always has something going on. Never The Same is a novella that for $4.99 for the Ebook and $12.99 for the paperback it’s well worth the buy. Available for Order at Amazon and Ingram Spark.
