The sequel starts with a storm in the winter of 1983, during the beginning of a health crisis deeply affecting Vancouver's gay community. In the dawning era of HIV/AIDS, Vancouver was considered one of the hot spots for infection. In My Life Above Water, AIDS terrifyingly makes its mark. With little understanding of how the so-called 'gay plague' was spreading in urban areas, the Vancouver gay community was mired in anxiety. Our protagonist, Shepard, tries to balance his ongoing studies with the final season of competitive swimming, despite an unforgiving coach with a surprising predilection. Failing to medal, Shepard's place on the national team is in question. Complicating things, his father suffers a near-fatal heart attack while playing golf and requires surgery from an unfortunately named cardiologist, Dr. Deth. Shep's mother is overcome with worry and asks for her children's support, but her son's loyalties are divided between his surly father and afflicted friend.Other problems abound, such as a frantic out-of-town call from Lara, an old friend, to let Shepard know that her agent, and Shep's once-secret lover, is now missing. Meanwhile, Shep's boyfriend is working as a director in a third-rate dinner theatre in faraway Sudbury, Ontario. His landlady, a former distance swimmer facing a deadly problem with her tenant, comes into possession of an illegal and unusual remedy that might help revitalize a member of their community. My Life Above Water recounts how a group of close-knit friends reunite to deal with the fear and uncertainty associated with the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.

Working together so closely makes it harder for the men to ignore their growing feelings. After all, the heart knows what it wants and doesn't care about age gaps, race, or professional conflict of interest.

Midnight in New California
"Lisa Ren矇e Julien excels in crafting the trappings of a near-future San Francisco Bay Area that feels familiar in landscape but unfamiliar in its social and cultural identity. The young characters who reside in New California are both at home in this alien environment and chafe at the restrictions of their lives and directions, and the boundaries of their relationships with one another." (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review)"The characters are powerful women whose lives, assumptions, experiences, and connections to California and beyond are realistically portrayed, but with a futuristic edge that keeps readers on their toes." (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review)"Fans of alternate history and LGBT romances will find Midnight in New California fosters an eerie sense of familiarity and strange new worlds that keep it thoroughly engrossing and hard to put down." (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review) Midnight in New California combines relatable larger than life characters, a dreamy atmospheric setting, and a unique, insightful voice into an approachably intellectual page-turner.Cora Broussard finds herself restless in utopian 2030's New California until a seemingly chance meeting with Ashley Doral, a sultry free spirit from the Jobber underclass.Ashley has what Cora wants: fire, agency, and the ability to express unfettered desire. Despite the dizzying bliss of a new romance with Ashley, Cora can't shake the feeling that she is being watched by New California's tranquilizer gun-armed Government Protection Officers.Lured by a strange phone call, Cora embarks on an ominous journey back to the country of her birth. Will her desire for power be stronger than her contentment in the life she created for herself?Midnight in New California addresses the deep-seated anxiety and thrilling hope of the future, wrapped around toxic romance and cultural identity. Fans of classic sci-fi crossovers like Brave New World and 1984 will love this modern take on the near-future. This bold debut mourns an America not yet lost, questions political extremes, and sounds a dire warning through three fiercely independent, deeply flawed, and ultimately-quintessentially American millennials.
