Me too!! I did find Love Me Better really devvy but in a different way. Lots around touch and erectile dysfunction and scarring rather than a ‘typical’ physical disability.... |

queenkala, that is hilarious!! I remember I was driving and spotted a sporty looking wheelchair in the back of a pick-up truck that had a disabled license plate on it and I began trying to catch up with the truck, driving all crazy, being unsafe, just to catch a glimpse - I was out of my head DEV CRAZY!! My behavior happened because I was in the process of reading that damn book and had just finished a particularly deevy part shortly before my encounter on the road. mwin - thanks for the information about the book! I will have to sequester myself when reading it in order to avoid any hazards from occurring  !!!!

Pet peeve time. I like books with dudes who limp. It seriously annoys me when I wait forever for a series book where the Hero was much more disabled by whatever injury he has when he was a secondary character and he's far LESS affected as a main character. Walks better,better balance, etc. Even when the injury had had plenty of time to heal BEFORE his appearance in his own book. No reason for the improvement, in fact, as anyone who's dealt with almost any kind of chronic condition can tell you, it's more likely to have gotten worse than better-particularly in a historical setting.
The book I'm referring to is London's Late Night Scandal by Anabelle Bryant.

I just purchased "What the Heart Sees" (blindness) for my Kindle. Its book 4 of a series I believe, but I dont think I've read any of the others. I'll have to look into what the other 3 are.

I hear it’s going to be a series on Netflix also. 😊 |

I haven't read EM Lindsey's books yet. But if you read the link blueskye posted above, she says that it's because her parents are both PWDs. That doesn't mean she isn't a dev, but I didn't get a dev vibe from her essay. Also the reviews of her books are pretty rough; a lot of readers think she's not as disability positive as she claims. But I will read at least one or two of her books to see for myself.
BTW I am finally reading Wheels of Steel by Pepper Pace, which is not a new book, and has been discussed here many times. I'm sure many of you have read it long ago. I'm enjoying it but even though she is very detailed and realistic in the way she describes CP, it feels very different to me from how a dev would describe the same things.

She writes pretty sexy bedroom scenes but not sure written as a dev would. Iron and works series has guy in wheelchair, deaf guy, blind guy and several with prosthetic limbs. Lol. Not all in same book. I really enjoyed this series. |

This brings up a different question, a little off subject. As a dev, how do you rein your thoughts to paper for general public viewing and could this be something e.m. Lindsey maybe does and others. I know that @ Annabelle has mentioned going more “ mainstream”. Glad for our pro boards site. |
