In the premiere episode, Melisa speaks about her inspiration for her book and why it's important to her personally.  

**** [M.A. Quigley YA LGBTQ+ Fiction M.A. Quigley is from Australia. Her work has been published in multiple anthologies in America, Australia, India, and the Philippines.  

The Complexities of Love, a coming-of-age romance, is her first novel.  Melisa is changing the world When Melisa was querying "The Complexities of Love," she thought the world wasn’t interested in people from the LGBT community and what they’ve been through in life up until now.  

"Everyone deserves to love and be loved regardless of who they choose. I’m hoping that when the LGBT community and other people read my novel, they will realize that they aren’t alone and that there are people in the world just like them."  

Things have changed radically for them in the world because now they are able to get married. However, in many countries there is still a stigma about being gay and marriage isn’t allowed with same sex couples.] **** 

Join us next week as we dig deeper into Melisa's novel.
