Outsider

A
Forbidden Island Short Story

by
Lianne Simon

Genre:
Sweet Fantasy Romance, Coming of Age

In the
closing hours of World War II, an experimental weapon meant for
London struck Eilean nan Sìthean, a remote Scottish island. Within
forty-eight hours, all of the men there died. Six months later, the
few women who survived gave birth to the children of the plague—the
Fair Folk of Scottish mythology reborn.

Nearly seventy
years later, a young gold named Màiri discovers an Outsider washed
ashore—the first human she’s ever seen. Saving his life would
mean spending the rest of her days with a stranger, the sworn enemy
of her people. But she cannot let him die alone.

Memories

A
Forbidden Island Novel

Anya
paints a watercolor landscape—the cherry grove that haunts her
dreams. Something happened there, but her past flows like the colors
that run down her artwork. Can she trust anything she remembers?

A
year ago, Anya was a petite blonde. Now, she’s a tall and muscular
redhead, playing soccer on a boy’s team. Her foster parents and her
caseworker insist she see a doctor about her bodily changes and her
gender issues.

To avoid medical treatment, Anya runs away from
her foster home. As the girl searches for acceptance and family, the
world around her shifts. She may find love. But will she ever have
the peace she craves?

White locks, pink eyes,

on her
mother’s breast she lies.

Blue eyes, golden braid,

gentle
girl, at home she stayed.

Redhead running through the vale,

soon
enough, he’ll think he’s male.

Lianne
Simon’s father was a dairy farmer and an engineer, her mother a
nurse. She grew up in a home filled with love and good books.

Tiny
and frail, Lianne struggled physically, but excelled at her studies.
In 1970, she was awarded a scholarship to the University of Miami,
from which she graduated in 1973. Fond memories of her time there
remain with her.

Some
years later, after living in several states, and spending time
abroad, Lianne settled in to the suburbs north of Atlanta, where she
now lives with her husband and their cat.

While
seeking answers to her own genetic anomalies, Lianne met a family
whose daughter was born with one testis and one ovary. As a result of
that encounter, she spent more than a decade answering inquiries on
behalf of a support group for the parents of such children.

Lianne
hopes that writing this book will, in some small way, contribute to
the welfare of children born between the sexes.
