Enjoy a FREE SapphFic story: The Perils of Publication 

And now, for something completely different. On the last Monday of 2024, instead of posting the usual serious article on my blog, the Bashful Blagger, I celebrated the arrival of 2025 by posting a spot of SapphFic that’s supposed to be… amusing, if not belly-laugh funny. You can read this lighthearted story online on the blog or download the pdf if you prefer a print-out.

Purely for your entertainment, meet the dyke-namic duo, the oh-so innocent poet, Sappho Watergate and the professional cellist, Rachel PaperKlippe, sparkling stars of The Perils of Publication.
Happy reading!

Enjoy the FREE prequel to Becoming Janice

This is the story that inspired the creation of Becoming Janice. You could call it a prequel, because Treating Juno tells what happened to Janice before the book begins. It doesn’t matter if you read about Juno before or after Janice. There are no spoilers to ruin your pleasure in either work. But if you read Treating Juno first, I hope it will spark your curiosity to find out what Janice does next…

“In Treating Juno, Ragini Werner gives us a tale that weaves itself around us until we’re entangled in its mesh. It’s a fascinating portrayal of the mind’s twists and turns as it plays tricks on its owner for one purpose — to survive a traumatic event. This is a very well written story with an unexpected ending.” – Anna Furtado

Why did I choose to publish with Iguana Books? Simple answer: their expertise in creating a finished product as good as I’d get with a trad publisher. A great side benefit was the professional handholding and gentle guidance I got from Cheryl Hawley
