R M : 2583 books

My lesbian partner died suddenly in 2010. There was very little in the way of lesbian support and I had to seek comfort from the people in my lifestyle. I want to change that; hence, this book. It is a true story about my journey through immense grief. I have also included a poem I wrote about grief.

This book is just what it says it is, an account of the life and adventures of R. M. Ballantyne, as written by himself; there's some short stories in the back too. I would highly recommend this book, especially if you've read any of his books and are curious about the man who wrote them. Its humorous and full of adventure. (Amazon)
