Pitch for OUT ON THE ICE: OUT ON THE ICE is a #Queer #Sapphic #Contemporary #Sports #Hockey Romance. It is published with Carina Press and is an Amazon Number 1 Best Seller in Lesbian Romance. Former women’s hockey standout Caro Cassidy runs a successful all-girls training center in the Chicago suburbs. She spends all her time and energy coaching. Her hockey school is her safe space to hide from past hurt. Her loved ones tend to abandon her when she does something they don’t like. Amy Schwarzbach is spending the summer coaching at Caro’s school. Two months in her hometown, and then she’ll go back to Boston to play professional hockey. She lives life out loud, supporting marginalized voices. Amy doesn’t like to see anyone not fit in. It’s something she struggles with: she’s bisexual, half Jewish, half Catholic, and still working a day job while playing pro hockey. Being a people pleaser helps her feel like she belongs everywhere instead of nowhere. Caro is drawn to Amy’s bright smile and sunny disposition, but dating an employee is a bad idea. Doing anything to connect her private life to the training center would put the one thing she truly has at risk. Amy’s had a crush on Caro forever, but needs to focus on her training. Being a hockey player is the only identity she really owns. Spending time together on and off the ice, they bond through their struggles for acceptance. They don’t just want a summer fling and begin a long-distance relationship when Amy returns to Boston. Her desire not to hide who she is clashes with Caro’s need to keep her personal life private. When her sexuality is made public and jeopardizes her hockey school, Caro learns that being happy and embracing who you are is what really matters. And Amy finds the strength to go after what she wants despite what others think. OUT ON THE ICE is Book 1 of the Out on the Ice Series. There are sequel and television series potential with two additional books, and more ideas on the way. For more information about the series, please visit www.kellyfarmerauthor.com.
