  Trying - A Memoir

  “Chloé Caldwell’s 2014 novella Women, about a woman falling in love with another woman for the first time, became a queer cult classic. In Trying, the writer again uses the fragmentary form, candor, and wit to study ‘the brain of someone trying to get pregnant.’ … When another form of grief suddenly bursts into her life, it ultimately signals a rebirth.”—Jasmine Vojdani, Vulture 
    
  If you’re writing about your life in real time, are you inherently fucked? 
    
  Over the years that Chloé Caldwell had been married and hoping to conceive a child, she’d read everything she could find on infertility. But no memoir or message board reflected her experience; for one thing, most stories ended with in vitro fertilization, a baby, or both. She wanted to offer something different. 
    
  Caldwell began a book. She imagined a selective journal about her experience coping with stasis and uncertainty. Is it time to quit coffee, find a new acupuncturist, get another blood test? Her questions extended to her job at a clothing boutique and to her teaching and writing practice. Why do people love equating publishing books with giving birth? What is the right amount of money to spend on pants or fertility treatments? How much trying is enough? She ignored the sense that something else in her life was wrong that was not on the page … until she extracted a confession from her husband. 
    
  Broken by betrayal but freed from domesticity, Caldwell felt reawakened, to long-buried desires, to her queer identity, to pleasure and possibility. She kept writing, making sense of her new reality as it took shape. With the candor, irreverence, and heart that have made Caldwell’s work beloved, Trying intimately captures a self in a continuous process of becoming—and the mysterious ways that writing informs that process.

  Zephan Amon is a psychic on the run. He comes from a powerful family famous for their wealth, but he cut ties with them over a decade ago. He's not nearly as powerful as they are, and they want him to either hide his existence or change his name, so he doesn't sully their reputation.
  Zephan refuses, and he's been perfectly happy living as a human far away from his family, but a series of events have left him jobless and homeless. He's about to work up the courage to ask his sister for help when he's kidnapped by werewolves. 
  A stroke of luck allows him to escape, but he runs straight into a vampire's garden. The vampire is far more concerned about Zephan trampling on his lawn than he is about kidnappings and werewolves. He demands Zephan pay a toll of blood for the state of his poor, abused grass. A few swallows of blood can't be worse than being recaptured by werewolves, can it?

  QUINN 
  Straining my groin is bad enough. It puts my hockey career, my future, but even worse, my dignity on the line. 
  Having to get massages in that area from Vance Landon, one of the team trainers, is mortifying. 
  It’s impossible to hide my feelings toward him. If my constant blushing and bumbling doesn’t give it away, my body does. 
  It’s getting to the point where I wonder if hockey is even worth the embarrassment. 
  Trying to avoid him only makes him seek me out more. He’s determined to rehab my injury, but all I want is for him to leave me alone. 
  Or fall for me. 
  One or the other. 
  VANCE 
  Ayri Quinn isn’t your typical jock … except for the fact he refuses to admit when he’s injured.  
  I’ve seen more than enough professional sportsmen lose the career they love due to injury, and I’m not having it happen again.  
  Especially not when the guy in question happens to be the sweetest, most awkward, innocent jock I’ve ever met.  
  When a night out leads to Quinn reinjuring himself, I create a care plan that keeps me hands on, literally. Unfortunately, working with him in close proximity brings all those feelings I’ve been trying to ignore to the surface.  
  I just need to get him better so he can be back on the ice and out of my bed.  
  Ah, my massage bed.  
  Because if this goes on any longer, I might mean my actual bed. 
  Ayri Quinn is impossible to resist.
