About this listen
Until she falls in love with Tatum, Janeesia didn't ever feel bi-curious.
Dramatic Arts degree in hand, Janeesia aims for Hollywood stardom. In the meantime, she sells heating and cooling equipment inspections by phone to pay the bills. To get more acting experience, she auditions for every part that opens up. Even in an "experimental" play such as Desert Island Blues, written and directed by the tyrannical, takes-everything-seriously Tatum.
Janeesia didn't expect to play a cactus, but it's still a speaking part, so she accepts it. She plans to joke about it when she accepts her Academy Award. She also doesn't plan on kissing Tatum, but at a cast party, somehow, that's what she does. Which leads to a "friendly" date to watch an opera - just because they both hate opera - and a late night stroll on the promenade bordering the Mississippi River.
Janeesia really doesn't expect what happens that night. After all, Janeesia has never identified as a lesbian. What is happening to her?
Janeesia also doesn't know Tatum still suffers from the heartache of losing her most beloved girlfriend to marriage with a man and self-medicates her depression with alcohol. Janeesia also doesn't realize how much her father's alcoholism still haunts her. Or how much her ambition for commercial success violates Tatum's personal standards of artistic and political purity.
With so many obstacles, it's a wonder Janeesia can still play a cactus in Tatum's play.
How can they live with their love?
Three flames, 62,000 words.

Caitlyn Sullivan had come from a long line of Hollywood royalty, stretching back to her Irish immigrant great-grandfather. At nine, she was already a star - yet still an innocent child who loved to play hide-and-seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared. Some may have considered her a pampered princess, but Cate was in fact a smart, scrappy fighter, and she managed to escape her abductors. Callan Cooper was shocked to find the bloodied, exhausted girl huddled in his house.

Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is theater: in particular, the challenge of performing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, helmed by one of the most electrifying - and narcissistic - Falstaff's of all time.

It is every bit as hilarious, shocking, and irreverent as she is.
