QSFer J.S. Frankel has a new FF fantasy romance out: The Turnaround.
Switching minds with someone of the opposite sex is one thing. Switching worlds, though, is an entirely different matter.
Joel Silverman, short, skinny, and homely, scores a date with the hottest girl in school. However, things go sideways when he’s attacked, forced to flee, and ends up in a building where an experimental portal is housed. Drawn in by its power, he’s sent to another Earth, but on the way, he meets a young woman, and the impossible happens—he switches minds with her.
He—now Kathy Goldbloom, and in a relationship with another woman—ends up on an alternate Earth where the US is ruled by a semi-fascist government. Gay rights are limited. Dissent is limited. Com-links—like smart watches—must be turned on twenty-four-seven.
Worse, Joel, now Kathy, discovers that a shadowy group called the Center is after the portal for their own reasons. Enter Myrna Loi, Kathy’s ex-girlfriend. Together, they try to discover the truth, but by that time, it might already be too late!
