This novel, set in 1963, recounts the story of Blair Fusco, an aspiring eighteen-year-old who wishes to become a successful hairstylist, and prove wrong those who regard him as queer, particularly his father. Perceived to be homosexual, and ridiculed for his effeminate characteristics, Blair struggles to find his personal and professional identity. A first foiled romance with a lesbian and several equivocal relationships with mature women, together with his initiation into a group of local mobsters, transform Fusco into a shrewd operator. After many adventures and vicissitudes, he becomes the prime suspect in the murder of his client/partner Robin Maxwell and her maid, Anne. Since Blair is the only suspect, and the police are unable to find the culprit, he is compelled to fight for his innocence. The young hairdresser pins his hopes on a few strands of hair found in one of the corpse's hands, which he believes came from a wig, and should hold a clue as to who murdered Robin. If Blair Fusco wants to exonerate himself and resolve the murders, he must find the culprit himself, unless he's willing to spend the rest of his days cutting hair in a penitentiary.

NATALIA was not prepared for the unexpected turn her life took. She moved from waiting tables and studying for finals, to shifting metals and manipulating stubborn elevators. It all started when she met Mark, a handsome bachelor, who’d requested that she take his order at Wine Dine, the restaurant she worked at. Mark’s generous tip that evening was questionable, and so was the phone number he left on his receipt. When she ran into him a week later, her best friend saw it as fate, and reluctantly, Natalia agreed to a date. A date, that unbeknownst to her, will bring unexpected joy, heartache, and a shocking discovery. Kidnapped . . . recruited, she’s now living in a world she never dreamed existed and enrolled at an academy, surrounded by others like her—who soon become friends—doing things with their bodies one could only dream about. From fire breathing to sound manipulation, O.E Academy has it all—and it all appears to be utterly wonderful. But she lost control of her life, and the perfect plan she once had was no longer within her reach. She belonged to someone else. To something else. Optimum Enim. Her life was no longer hers to do as she pleased—neither were her new powers—but to an organization, nonexistent to the world. Will she succumb and accept what fate has presented to her? Or will she stand her ground to uncover the hidden secrets within and find a way back to her mourning family? She has yet to find out just who she is and what she has always been. A bewildering discovery, a thread of unanswered questions, but it’s only the beginning. TERM ONE. Join Natalia in her New Beginnings journey!
