Sexy Dirty Cowboy by Elle Thorpe
Imagine yourself a sophisticated, young New Yorker with a stellar career in publishing ahead of you. Then suddenly, an act of random street violence leaves your vision so distorted that your glittering career comes crashing down. That was the situation facing Luke Reader. And this is the story of how he forges a new identity and learns to turn disability to his advantage while fighting the prejudice it provokes. Plunged into the world of disabled people, he discovers an appreciation for a new kind of internal and external beauty, and finds dignity and decency even amongst the dishonest and the deluded. But then he has to fight for his and his new friends' survival against self-serving bureaucrats, and a corrupt police chief and gangsters waging an all-out drugs war. In scenes both comic and tragic, history professor and arts journalist Sean Dennis Cashman draws on his own experience of coming to terms with sight loss and his efforts to negotiate the inner workings of New England social services and an outside world turned suddenly alien, frequently hostile, and, at times terrifying.
Thorpe, Elle: - Elle Thorpe lives on the sunny east coast of Australia, about an hour out of Sydney. When she's not writing stories full of kissing and chemistry, she's a wife, and Mummy to three tiny humans. She's also official ball thrower to one slobbery dog named Rollo. Yes, she named a female dog after a male character on Vikings. Don't judge her. Elle is a complete and utter fangirl at heart, obsessing over The Walking Dead and Outlander to an unhealthy degree. But she wouldn't change a thing. After being a booklover for as long as she could remember, Elle first began writing in high-school. She scribbled stories not so loosely based on the hottest guy in school, during sleepovers with her bestie. When she moved into the workforce, she always kept a notebook hidden in her filing, writing outlines and scenes whenever no one was looking. She took an extended break from writing when the tiny humans made their appearance, but her characters were always there, telling their stories in the back of her mind. When her youngest was eighteen months, Elle began using naptime as writing time, and wrote two books over the next eighteen months. Those will never see the light of day. But then this kind of arrogant, but kind of a sweetheart character named Low started talking, and the rest is history.
