I suppose I should place a bio or an introduction...and I will, but I'm also going to just go ahead and talk about one of the books I'm working on, and if you're looking at this post, you've probably read a few chapters here.

Main Characters:

  • Kristopher/Kristina Allie Nosvoselic
  • Michael Thomas Nelson
  • Daniel Rollins
  • Karen Anne English
  • Richard Mannis

Musical Influence: Jessica Andrews/Aselin Debison

I Am Rosemary’s Granddaughter is based on the screenplay for “Who I Am” and if that sounds familiar it would be because both lines come from the song “Who I Am” by Jessica Andrews. The storyline has always been about an intersex girl who was forced to grow and live a boy; which doesn’t bother “him” too much until the teenage years hit and then issues come up and the Nosvoselic family nearly implodes.

The original script glossed over the early years of Kris’ life by slamming it all into the opening title sequence (which is to the song “Who I Am”. A reviewer of the script stated that the “real” story was how Kris and Michael met and how their relationship changed from friend to fiancé. I agreed but didn’t know how to put it into the narrative until years later.

The story is still a work in progress, coming ever so slowly as I can.

Trivial notes:

Richard Mannis is based on someone I worked with in Spokane, WA. He actually stated he wanted to carve my sister-in-law’s heart out with a rusty spoon.

Karen Anne's name is never stated as just "Karen" with the exception of one time.

Kris is roughly based on a friend of mine who has been helping me with some of the scenes. Kris' hair was originally set as red but it was changed to black, a more "goth-ish" look.

phew

Was your sister-in-law a sweetheart?

She had an attitude at times,

She had an attitude at times, but she was/is a nice person. I personally think she rejected his advances and he didn't take it well.
