Birds of a Feather

Fiorella started writing her first romance when she was in junior high.  It started with the hero coming across the heroine bathing in a forest pool--yeah, she'd already figured out the naked scene was a sine qua non of literature, or at least the type of literature on her mother's bookshelf.  Hardback historicals, paperback mysteries--they all had sex scenes.

Fio's incipient bestseller disappeared a couple of months later when Mother cleaned her room.  Yes, none of  Fio's drawers were safe from housekeeping and parental inspection.   What was sauce for the goose was not sauce for the gosling's creative muse.
