Rebecca Long started writing when she was in the first grade, and by the second grade her stories had progressed to a very, very short novel that starred a Dalmatian and a blue dragon. In the same year, she published a poem in the newsletter that she still refuses to show anybody, because she rhymed "youch" with "couch" in desperation for lack of other words. Now, she is a high school student who complains about how only upper classmen get to have the fun classes, and is writing several novels at once and procrastinating on all of them. Sometime in the past years, she’s won a few writing contests and vaguely remembers reading one of her winning pieces on television, but never really saw the recording of it. Rebecca is the kind of person who hides inside all day, buried deep in either the internet or books, and only ventures out if her family makes her. She has a weakness for fluffy fics, cheesy romances, and YA novels that are too happy for their own good, but she is also a sucker for horror movies and tragedy.

Harmonious Hearts 2014 - Stories from the Young Author Challenge
A Harmony Ink Press Title
Celebrate with Harmony Ink Press as we recognize the talented winners of our first annual Young Author Challenge. This anthology showcases the LGBTQ genre’s best up-and-coming-authors between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one.
The transition from childhood to adulthood is never easy, and growing up presents unique challenges for LGBTQ youth. Confusion, bigotry, and struggle transcend time and place, but fortunately, so does love. Travel with these exceptional young authors from country cottages to big cities, into the past and the future, from fantastic lands of magic to the recognizable landscapes of our world. Regardless of the setting, the characters in these stories, along with families, friends, lovers, and allies, fight to claim their places in life. Their identities and situations are different, but the young people in this collection share the strength and courage to succeed, sometimes against great odds, and they invite you to join them on their journeys.
