Twisted
by J.S. Frankel
Chivalry isn’t dead. It just wears a skirt.
Highschoolers Charlie Matthews, Martin Anderson, whose parents adopted Charlie, and Sharon Collins win a contest to play an interactive medieval game as the avatars of their favorite characters. Their mission: fight off the monsters, storm the castle, and capture the evil king.
But things go terribly wrong. Charlie is dismayed to discover he is Angella of Avernon, the lead female character in the game. Fortunately, she’s the most powerful avatar around, but he also finds out that he, Martin, and Sharon have been infected with a virus that will kill them outside the game, so they have to stay inside the scenario.
Trapped and beset on all sides, Charlie has to deal with the sexism of the characters circa 1430, his stepbrother’s distaste for his female form, and his feelings about becoming a woman. In addition to fighting off the various monsters within the scenario, Charlie tries to fight his attraction to Sharon...and then realizes Sharon is attracted to him, which makes it all the more confusing.
When the deadly opponents in the game get the upper hand, Charlie must summon all of his love and courage to save the day and rescue Sharon. Will he understand that love is where you find it and that the gender of the one you love doesn’t matter at all?

Lindsay Versus the Marauders
by J.S. Frankel
Shy Lindsay Fleming has just summoned up all her courage and come out. All she’s ever wanted is to be accepted for herself, but though her best friend, Myra, is okay with her sexual orientation, many of her high school friends are not. Her parents don’t understand at all, leaving Lindsay angry and confused. During the Christmas season, Lindsay attends a meeting for the “newly out,” but she leaves when that turns into a disaster. On her way home, she saves a young woman from being mugged—by four red-skinned aliens!
The woman, Jonephra (“Call me Jo”) is a resident of the planet Carinna, located in another dimension. The red-skinned men, known as “Marauders,” are a mean, ruthless bunch who stole jewels that power Jo’s home world, and she’s on a mission to get them back. Turkel leads the band of heartless pirates, and they’ll kill anyone who gets in the way of their looting and pillaging. Lindsay is reluctant to get involved, but she agrees to help Jo, who she is attracted to. Jo is tall and self-confident, and Lindsay thinks Jo might like her, but she feels so shy and awkward. Will she be able to shed her shyness and gain enough confidence to win Jo’s heart? Even more risky: will Lindsay survive the dangerous Marauders, find the jewels and return them before Jo’s planet runs out of reserve power?

Lindsay, Jo and the Tree of Forever
by J.S. Frankel
In this sequel to Lindsay Versus the Marauders, Lindsay Fleming returns to her humdrum life on Earth, still reeling from falling in love with Jo, a young woman who hails from the distant planet of Carinna.
Lindsay's life does not stay idle for too long, as Jo returns bearing bad tidings. It seems a madman has loosed a plague on her universe causing its inhabitants to age rapidly. Conventional science has failed, but there are compelling tales of the magical healing properties of the Tree of Ayeni.
Skeptical of this tree's powers, but willing to fight for her love, Lindsay sets off to save Jo's planet. Things are never as they seem, and as time starts to run out, everything becomes a matter of trust. Lindsay has to put her faith in two strangers, one of which is a rival for her girlfriend's affection. Can she save both this planet and her deep affection for Jo?
