Sunstone (Book One) by Stjepan Šejić Berkeley: Image Comics 2014 "I ... would like to meet you." When aspiring writer Lisa and reclusive computer programmer Ally bond online through Lisa's writing, it is their mutual interests and desires that spur them to meet.

A graphic novel that balances levity and seriousness, the story of Ally and Lisa explores and describes both BDSM and LGBTQIA relationships in a wry and honest way.
