Julie May

Julie May has spent most of her life in Brooklyn, New York where she maintains a psychotherapy practice. Over the years she has worked in factories, clinics, schools and a shipyard. These experiences have provided much of the inspiration for her poetry, essays and short stories. Her work dances with the action of politics and relationships while diving below to explore unconscious thoughts and buried dreams. Time Has Come is her first novel.

Time Has Come

Jessie woke up from a dead slumber and reached for the alarm clock — 10:30. She would be late for class again. She sat up and looked at the empty space beside her in the queen-sized bed. She lay back, relieved to be alone. Before she could gather her thoughts about anything, the pungent smell of hashish invaded her nostrils.
She rolled over and buried her head in the pillow. The idea of going into the kitchen sickened her. Eating breakfast shrouded by another cloud of smoke revolted her. The idea of a conversation with Gary was even less appetizing.
