Groundbreaking Romance Novel Features Transgendered Heroine

Las Vegas, NV - January 24, 2012 - In the romance novel, “Two Spirit 
Ranch,” by Jaime Stryker, a successful lawyer running away from her 
tumultuous life in New York City to Montana meets a handsome small town 
sheriff. But this otherwise traditional love story has a twist; the 
heroine is transgendered.

Chances at Romance announces the publication of perhaps the first 
mainstream romance novel with a transgendered heroine.  “Two Spirit 
Ranch” explores when love is challenged by a rugged sheriff’s 
preconceived notion about gender and the heroine’s fear of not being 
loved for the woman she is.  

After a year of unprecedented publicity regarding transgender issues in 
the entertainment and political worlds, the book, written by Jaime 
Stryker, hopes to give an unconventional twist to a conventional tale.  
Stryker, who is a longtime fan of the genre, says, “Popular art reflects 
culture, and the past year brought transgender issues to the forefront.  
It was simply time for a romance novel that also touched upon gender 
issues.”

The title delves into the fact that some Native American tribe members 
could assume the identity of the opposite gender and still be accepted 
and respected by their community. “Many of the native peoples believed a 
spectrum of gender identities was part of nature’s diversity.” Stryker 
goes on to say, “When European colonization started to dominate the 
region rigid gender roles became the norm.”

Jaime Stryker, a Los Angeles based writer, began reading romances at the 
age of eleven when she would sneak away some of her mother's books.  She 
always dreamed of seeing her name on the cover of one of the heart 
swooning tales.  To find out more about Jaime, please visit
