Author Bio:
A military brat born and raised at Ft. Benning Georgia; Smith is an avid reader, reviewer and writer. She now calls Texas home from her small town on the outskirts of the DFW Metroplex. Most days you can find her curled up with her kindle and a good book alongside a glass of something aged and red or a steaming cup of coffee!
At 42 years young, she’s decided to enter the next phase of her life by adding the title of “author” to her list of accomplishments that includes single mom of three disturbingly outspoken and decidedly different kids, one of which is Autistic. Smith is and outspoken advocate for Autism and equal rights for the LGBTQ community.
Her Opposites series is based outside the normal parameters of social acceptability, examining a ‘what if’… What If to be gay or lesbian were the norm? What if to be straight labeled you as an Opposite and made YOU the Outkast?
Hi everyone, and thank you to BFD Book Blog for hosting me today. Our host today asked me to talk about two things in life I’m very passionate and outspoken about, Autism Awareness and LGBT rights. Since April is Autism Awareness month, I’ll talk about that one first! I run an annual Autism Awareness Auction on my blog and facebook page every year, this year will be the fourth one for me. It is just a wonderful thing for so many authors I admire and respect to not only donate signed books and unique series inspired gifts for this auction, but they also pay shipping out of their own pockets. EVERY dime of the money donated through this auction goes directly to the Autism Awareness campaign. As a mother of an autistic child I know firsthand how important research and continued support for this condition is.
This year I have close to twenty different authors offering up a ton of great signed paperback books and one publishing company that is donating an $80 giftcard for their online store! It’s such an amazing show of support to this cause that is very near and dear to my heart, it makes me a little blurry eyed.
I’m also a huge supporter of the LGBT community. One of my very best friends, my brother from another mother is gay and I absolutely loath the ignorance, hatred and grief he has gotten in life, simply because he chooses to love men instead of women. Love is love and it should be celebrated regardless. To show my support every year during Pride month, I donate a portion of my book sales to a local LGBT center that specialize in support for LGBT teens and brings a lot of awareness to our community specifically about HIV awareness, Resource Center Dallas. I’ve also signed up for an anthology with several other LGBT authors that will release this summer with all proceeds being donated to an LGBT worthy cause, I’m excited to get that story written.
And to show my support while having a little fun, this year I was able to head out to the NOH8 photo shoot in Dallas and get my picture taken by Adam. It was such a fun day! I got to meet both Adam and Jeff, bought some NOH8 merchandise and had a lovely photo shoot. Did I mention Adam gave me a hug after he took my pictures? He is just the nicest man, always smiling and bouncing.
What is important to you? Do you support one or more of the foundations or communities that are important to you? I’m including the links below for the ones I support, and I hope you will all stop by the blog (www.ttcbooksandmore.com) of the facebook page (TTC Books & More) during the month of April and bid on one of the items I’m auctioning! Have a great day everyone… Blessed Be!!

Blurb(s):
In the year 2081 our planet survived global warming of an apocalyptic scale. When the dust settled and the water receded Dr. Anthony Smith, one of only a few hundred survivors of GWI, started society anew. Having come to the conclusion that injudicious breeding played a huge role in the destruction of Earth as we knew it in the twenty first century, he worked closely with other survivors to isolate the Dionysus gene. This gene has the ability to manipulate human DNA to ensure that all male children be born gay, and all female children be born lesbians. A new society is born.
In the year 2300 Dr. Smith’s descendants are ushering in the twenty fourth century having maintained control of the government that still rules society. Twins Aiya and Aiyan are preparing to meet their matches and take control of House Gaeland, the current ruling House. But not everything is as it seems.
Love is Love.. it knows no gender and doesn’t conform to restrictions and boundaries. Aiyan has found his soul mate in Kaden, the prince of House Devi that he is matched with and eventually marries. But when the person Aiya falls in love with tests the boundaries put in place after GWI, all hell breaks loose. And in the midst of one secret unraveling, another will emerge. There is a growing anomaly that threatens to destroy over two hundred years of progression. This anomaly is known as Opposites.
*WARNING* Opposites is an Adult Dystopian majorly M/M series that contains explicit sexual content and relationships between gay, lesbian and straight couples.*
Categories: Adult dystopian majorly MM romance. I market as an LGBT romance because I have gay, straight and lesbian couples.
Excerpt:
Standing outside the door to the room Kaden barely occupied, Aiyan placed his hands on either side of him planting him against the wall. He stared at Kaden for several moments before he smiled, and kissed him. Kaden pulled back and shot a warning glare at him.
“You should go.” Kaden whispered breathlessly. “Goodnight Aiyan.”
Aiyan grinned that crooked smile and planted a kiss on his neck and whispered, “Go where, here?” He moved up and nipped Kaden’s ear lobe with his teeth. “Or here?” he asked. Kaden was beginning to slide down the wall as his legs turned to jelly.
Aiyan stood back laughing, his eyes glistened and he smiled. “Goodnight Kaden, I love you.” Placing a quick peck on his lips, he turned to go.
“And I you.” Kaden said and closed the door behind him before sinking to the floor, no longer able to support himself. He ran the tips of his fingers across his still tingling lips, and smiled.
