Liked the story and the twist, but it was a bit too quick for me, over too soon... Though I think a longer story could be made about Ixtchel after the events of this short story... I'd love to hear more about her. - Lesley - Jan-19-2011

A Story of unrequited love... Cassidy Monsignor is in love with her best friend, Andrea Cates. Andrea Cates holds Cassidy very dear and suffers the fact that her friend is troubled... Will Andrea ever realize Cassidy's true feelings? And if she does, will she realize that she may feel the same way?
A page turner, can't wait to see how it develops Katia Ruiz is a fantastic writer. Although she's just started to get her stuff posted, she captures the reader with interesting and complex characters. Look forward to more work from this bard. - Anonymous - Nov 17th, 2002    On the recommendation of a friend I read "Sweet Surrender". I can tell this is one bard with major talent (in fact if time permits today I'm dying to read more of her works) but, for me anyway, it has one glaring faux pas. This very promising story falls victim to the "Invincible Dyke Syndrome", you know the woman who can have amazingly, fantastic, sex while: sick, injured, hurt but still on the living side of death's door or still recuperating from the aforementioned senarios. I also pegged the wrong character as the "surrenderer"...but I wouldn't mind having that libido for a day. - Kay - Dec 25th, 2002    Yeah, a beautiful and believable story. This is the first story I have read by Ms. Ruiz and i am looking forward to reading her other submissions. Katia A. Ruiz you have talent, thanks for sharing your works with us! - aj - Aug-15-2008    My previous comments still stand. Sorry for the error in your middle initial. - aj - Aug-15-2008    Wonderful story. I think it ended rather quickly. A sequel would be great. We'd like to know if Jeffrey was confronted about that pile of lies, and Cassidy's reaction when she finds out she's the first to bring Andrea to an, uhh.....higher plane of pleasure ;-) Anyway; great author, great story, highly recommended! - TKD Vixen - May-15-2011    ~SPOILER ALERT~ Sorry guys, the above comment contains a spoiler. I clicked on spoiler when I posted it, but it didn't show up. - TKD Vixen - May-15-2011    Really great read xx - SD - Jul-05-2015

The Long Way Home (Billie and Jewl) by Katia N. Ruiz     

Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Drama | Novella - 130 pages | Finished | Mar-03 Cast: Billie, Margo, Jewl, Johanna Honors/Awards:  #10 in 2003     Top-25 #1.
In the span of ten years, this story takes us through the life of Illumination's people. In a small town where secrets are so hard to keep, two women struggle with their love. But when fear tears them apart, their lives take off in different directions, setting them through paths that are separate, but that could at any moment intermingle.
great story so far! - Anonymous - Mar 12th, 2003    How could you not finish this story?I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting with bated breath for the conclusion.This is a cruel,cruel torment for an avid fan.Please finish this!! - califa - Jun 27th, 2003    Hey, Califa. Don't Worry, the story is not nearly finished. what is finished is the end of part 1 of the book, the next part will be Jewl's story. And the part after that, will be other characters, so dont worry. - Katia N. Ruiz, the author - Jun 27th, 2003    What do people think about the new title? I'd like to know. Thank you all in advance. :) - Katia N. Ruiz, The Tyger - Sep 15th, 2003    Great story! I doubt there will be any shortcuts. For Billie and Jewl, the road goes ever on and on..."The Road goes ever on and on. Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can. Pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way. Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say." -J.R.R. Tolkien - Beck McCoy - Nov 17th, 2003    One of the best I've read. I feel for each of the character, especailly Jewl. I hope you had made her life happier. One thing I want to know is how old are Billie and Jewl. I'm looking forward to the rest of the story. Thank you. - b.mccracken - Feb 15th, 2004    BRILLIANT story, fantastically written. Why is it not finished? Can't wait any longer... - Anonymous - Mar 15th, 2005    Thank you for a wonderful story. - Dusty - Jan-02-2011    I just finished this after starting yesterday. Absolutely loved this story told through four perspectives but never repetitive! Great characters had me routing for all to get what they want. There is a bit tragedy in the tale I won't elaborate as that would spoil for the reader but by no means is it insurmountable and adds to the very realistic tale of how peoples loves and lives can inter-connect and merge in blurring lines! I tried to find out if there's a book 2 but no such luck, authors website not working or location has moved. Thank you for writing this Katia and I really hope you bring us a conclusion to this beautiful story soon... I really want to know what happens with Leo, Jewl, Johanna & Billie... Please write some more soon... Currently I've been working through your novels and lovely every minute I spend in your created worlds. Sequel! More! Please! - Lesley - Jan-19-2011    Great story, but when will book 2 be posted? I tried contacting the author, but couldn't get through. I'm really interested in Jewl's next steps! - TKD Vixen - May-17-2011
