about me

Gypsy. Writer. Queer.
I have travelled to 30+ countries, and lived on two continents and two islands, and held too many jobs to count accurately. I write to stay sane, to breathe life into the stories that swirl around in my head, and to tell you that you can live your passion starting today.

Learning Curve: A Married Woma....

Micki McNie

What do you do when you wake up after 7 years of marriage and discover you're a lesbian?


At age 37, I faced the choice of remaining in a sexless but financially and emotionally stable marriage, or leaving my comfortable life and starting over. My book Learning Curve: A Married Woman's Coming Out Story tells the story of the emotional struggle my husband and I faced, the challenges of being single and independent again, and finally the hurdle of coming out to my conservative family.

The book is now complete and a new edit has been uploaded. Thanks for reading and for your feedback.
I am also slowly working through my watchlist. Everyone who comments/backs/WL/etc will get a look from me.

It took me a couple chapters to get into the story, but now I'm loving it. Very well written account of early lesbian experiences. I like the characters and they interact well. Can't wait to read the rest. view book

The translation is pretty good for a non-native English speaker, but could use some polishing. I like the story-line so far and am waiting for Jamie's secret to be revealed. Please continue with the English version, I'd like to read more. view book

Wow, I'm fascinated while only through the first half of chapter one. As someone who has written a true life story about coming out as married, I completely identify with the feeling of living two lives. Your sense of the surreal is tantalizing, this is one I will read from end to end. view book

Thanks to everyone who has mentioned that the hook leads them to expect more surprise or shock. Based on that feedback I will try restructuring by giving you a more juicy first chapter that relates directly to coming out. Originally I wanted that to be a surprise, but the backstory has more of a "... view book

Love your tone, sounds like the way my friends and I talk. I laughed outloud several times in the first few chapters, and I always like a book that does that. view book
