TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Renée J. Lukas’s debut novel, The Comfortable Shoe Diaries (Bella Books, 2015) explores LGBT culture in a funny and offbeat way, including the issue of gay marriage.
It’s the story of Sydney Gray, a neurotic writer who loses everything—her job, home and a long-term relationship to boot. How she’s able to pick herself up and find happiness again is a real mystery, especially since she’s determined to fail at everything.
The Comfortable Shoe Diaries is about accepting the detours that life throws our way and eventually seeing the positive in what appears to be a negative situation. At the same time, it attempts to answer questions like: Why do coupled-off lesbians leave the bar scene and start having cookouts? Just what are the seven species of lesbians? And does anyone actually find a healthy relationship through online dating?
Renée J. Lukas was born and raised in Tennessee. She grew up in the 1980s when the only famous gay person she knew of was Boy George. Renée later graduated with a B.A. in Motion Picture History, Theory and Criticism from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. She now lives in Massachusetts with her partner and two stepsons.
