Heather Guertin received her Masters degree at the Art Institute of Chicago. Last year she published a novella titled Model Turned Comedian. She is currently working on her second book Not Yet Titled, Cambodia.
Here is an excerpt from her novella Model Turned Comedian:
The night was…
The night was… I can still see my face in your face. It is…questioning. But don’t be afraid because we are all one. A woman wakes up alone. She has short, dark brown hair and slightly olive skin, tanned but naturally. She is thin, fit but naturally. She has slightly big hands that are strong and feet that are wide and toes that are also strong. Her favorite colors are black and a form of light magenta. She gets up at 6:30, walks to the shower and gets ready. She leaves her apartment and heads off in her beat-up Honda Civic, a purely functional car that gets good gas mileage.
This woman is only slightly better than me.
