While artist Zinna Nolan ambitiously pursues her artistic dreams in New Orleans, she wonders if it is worth the sacrifice if she has to give up the love of her life.
Excerpt
A warm sensation crept through Zinna's chest, then down to her genitals. She'd had this heated sensation before, and when the feelings became too intense, and she thought she would lose her mind, she would gently move her hand to her vagina and relieve her yearning. She should pull her hand away from Megan's, but she couldn't. A powerful urge much stronger than her usual sensibility overtook her mind. Her emotions were raw and on edge. She needed to know. Why had Megan tormented her with all these questions? What did Megan really want from her? What did she really want from Megan? She was terrified of what lay ahead tonight, but she had to take the risk. She leaned in closer. She felt Megan's sweet breath near her mouth. A tremor went through Megan's hand, or was it her own, or both? It felt like an electric current was surging through her veins. In a moment, she would totally suffocate.
"What do you want from me?" she weakly whispered.
Megan's voice was barely audible as she whispered back, "Nothing you haven't all ready figured out."
Megan's mouth moved closer to her own. A soft moan escaped from her throat.

Zinna Review
ZINNA is a novel that abounds with rich characterization. Zinna is a complex character who selfishly attempts to make her dream become her lover’s dream. While in New Orleans, she does a lot of soul searching and finds that she has quite a few personal issues to work on. Compassionate secondary characters are instrumental in helping her make her dream a reality. Turner’s makeshift family includes cross dressing Kyler who instantly accepts Zinna for who she is. Charity is the family’s mother figure who takes Zinna under her wing and offers her invaluable advice. Turner, a caring man, is drawn to Zinna from the first moment he sees her. He is the one who really encourages her to master her craft. Megan is portrayed as a strong woman who is willing to sacrifice her happiness to make sure that Zinna’s dreams come true.
ZINNA is not an erotic story. Instead, it is a book about a soulful, intense yearning that will capture readers’ hearts.

Zinna is a very interesting book; although the main character is a lesbian the story is more to do with the pure love that two people share together and the choices and decisions that we make to try and give our loved ones everything they desire.
This is a fantastic book and one that I would highly recommend to people. Although readers may shy away from the book because of the f/f plotline, it is handled so delicately that it is hardly noticeable. Kira Chase has produced a great novel that looks into the very psyche of the people involved, each with their own stories and issues that they deal with in their own way. I will definitely be looking out for more of Ms. Chase’s work.

Just a simple gathering of the Gay & Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboror (GLAABS) and we plunge down a hilarious ride to perdition.
