Review: A Family Woman

A Family Woman A Family Woman by T.B. Markinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved A Family Woman by T.B. Markinson. This was the next book in the series that I have been enjoying. The characters are great and I love Lizzie, although I think she gets picked upon a bit. I cannot wait to see the next in the series. Lizzie's character is one that I empathize with as my daughter does not get a lot of idioms. Sara and Lizzie do quite well together. I am looking forward to seeing how Lizzie handles teaching.

Review: Confessions from the Heart

Confessions from the Heart Confessions from the Heart by T.B. Markinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great book. I had read the previous books in this series and it was good to see how it all began. Character development was awesome. Of course, Cori’s Mother and Aunt are always great for laughs. I love the line where Kat keeps Cori’s clothes to keep her from running. The philosophical debates between characters help to deepen understanding. Kat’s character is strong yets shows her vulnerabilities with her Art and Family.
I highly recommend this book and the others in the series. Get to know Kat and Cori.

GCLS 2018 Conference

The GCLS 2018 Conference is in Las Vegas, July 4-8. The event brings together readers, fans, writers, editors, and publishers to celebrate the best in lesbian literature. I will be there. For those of you unfamiliar with the Golden Crown Literary Society, it's a great way to meet others interested in lesbian literature. Every year, the conference rotates. The con was in Portland, OR in 2014, New Orleans in 2015, Washington DC in 2016, and Chicago in 2017. The speakers and writing seminars are outstanding. GCLS info is at http://www.goldencrown.org/


I look forward to seeing and meeting many of the authors that have given me so much reading pleasure and made an impact on my life.

Review: Transformed: San Francisco

Transformed: San Francisco Transformed: San Francisco by Suzanne Falter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An entertaining book that kept me hooked. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Exciting thriller, mystery, that had a shadow of Amistad Maupin. Characters were fun to follow and I could picture the area in SF the author took pains in researching to describe.

Review: In the Distance There Is Light

In the Distance There Is Light In the Distance There Is Light by Harper Bliss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so glad I bought and read this book. I wasn't sure about the topic, but the author did a fantastic job. I appreciated the way she dealt with death and how the main characters each had a way of coping. The relationship between the two main characters while might be seen as taboo or certainly unique, was portrayed in a loving caring manner that had me rooting for them.
I recommend this book highly.

Good futuristic story. Realistic and not corny. Enjoyable plot. I liked getting to know the characters. Two strong women. A little more sex than I would have liked. I Think there could be a sequel and adventure for the two.

Review: Tail Gait: Rita Mae Brown

I have been a fan of this author for some time. I have also been a little disappointed with recent works due to lecturing by the author in the novel...till now.

Rita Mae Brown came through with a winner. Not only do we get a great mystery, learn more of the characters (Pastor and Susan), but learn of our own nations history. So much did the historical aspects tough me that I immediately, upon finishing the book, went online to search out, Camp Security. I then continued to share this information with my daughter. She endured my enthusiasm.

Thank you to the author to not only providing a good read but well accepted lesson in history.

Lesbian Connection magazine!

Hello from Margy at Lesbian Connection magazine! 

I’m trying to get the word out to lesbians everywhere about our FREE magazine. 
In case you haven’t heard of LC before, or if you just lost touch with us, here’s some info:

Lesbian Connection is the free worldwide forum of news, ideas and information for, by
and about lesbians.  We’ve been publishing since 1974, and we mail issues out every other
month in plain brown envelopes (the word “lesbian” doesn’t appear anywhere on the outside).

This magazine is a grassroots forum, which means it’s truly written by our readers.  On its
pages you’ll find info for lesbians on places to live and where to travel, lesbian B&Bs and guesthouses, websites, cruises, festivals, conferences, lesbian land and retirement communities, products (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.), campgrounds and retreats, lesbian lawyers and realtors,
as well as the comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” and much more.  There are also reviews, articles, letters and topics dealing with whatever issues LC’s readers are talking about, from health issues and politics to relationships and pets. 

So, if you’re a lesbian and you’d like to start receiving LC, all you need to do is email us (LC@LConline.org) your full name and complete (snail mail) mailing address and we’ll be
happy to add you to our list.  (By the way, our mailing list is totally confidential; we will never
sell, loan or share it with anyone else.)  We’d also like to know where you heard about us. 
In case you’re wondering, LC survives on the donations we receive from our readers.  However, contributions are voluntary and subscriptions really are free to all lesbians.  Our goal is, quite
simply, to connect the lesbian community worldwide.

Cookie dough

There is a difference, apparently, between mixing cookie dough in a mixer vs. by hand. By hand you get the possibility the cookies will turn out flatter as you did not mix in everything well enough. Sigh.

From Swim Lessons

My child is a sea lion at EVO Swim School

Diamond in the Ruff


It was a day of mistakes, by me, and we were fairly hungry by the end of the line. We started off our trip to Sedona with a bolt in my tire. We detoured to Discount Tire where they fixed it and sent us on our way. We continued on to Sedona. On the outskirts the traffic started getting heavy. Stop and go all they in and out of Sedona. Never did find the Pride Festival. Although I thought I saw something. I made a user error with the GPS, too, and did not get what we wanted or the restaurant where I thought we could eat. So at this point. My daughter is fairly hungry as she did not like the Jamba Juice I got her for breakfast that morning. Via GPS I looked for the closest food place. We found something about honey, but it turned out to be a home that sold honey. Back at the 17 again I tried again. We followed the map to get to Jackson's Grill at the Springs. What a turn of good fortune! Very pleasant surroundings and atmosphere. Food was excellent and the service was superb. Chef Ray was fabulous. He taught us about Horseradish and helped stave off my daughters hunger with some homemade chips. She loved it. The waitress, Ashley, was great, too. I highly recommend this Diamond in the Ruff! Thanks to the GPS for coming up with something fabulous!

Amazon calls mistake 'embarrassing and ham-fisted'

Amazon.com has offered a response to the AmazonFail fiasco.

Because there's so much attention to this, I'll offer spokesman Drew Herdener's comments unfiltered:

This is an embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error for a company that prides itself on offering complete selection.

It has been misreported that the issue was limited to Gay & Lesbian themed titles – in fact, it impacted 57,310 books in a number of broad categories such as Health, Mind & Body, Reproductive & Sexual Medicine, and Erotica. This problem impacted books not just in the United States but globally. It affected not just sales rank but also had the effect of removing the books from Amazon's main product search.

Many books have now been fixed and we're in the process of fixing the remainder as quickly as possible, and we intend to implement new measures to make this kind of accident less likely to occur in the future.

Pepsi "Something for Everyone" Slogan is Working!

The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of Pepsi due to their support for the "homosexual agenda" and they are asking their constituents to take action by letting Pepsi know they plan on boycotting.

They are angry because Pepsi donated $500,000 to the Human Rights Campaign as well as $500,000 to Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays(PFLAG)

Pepsi has also marched in pride parades and handed out Pepsi products and paraphernalia in an effort to market to the LGBT community.

In addition PepsiCo has workshops to trains its employees in diversity training which includes educating about sexual orientation and gender identity issues.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please call Pepsi (914-253-2000 or 1-800-433-2652) and let them know you appreciate their commitment to diversity and for supporting gay charities.

Pepsi's products include Pepsi soft drinks, Frito-Lay chips (800-352-4477), Quaker Oats (800-367-6287), Tropicana (800-237-7799) and Gatorade (800-367-6287).

Forward this page to your friends and family so they will know about Pepsi's support for equal rights and for LGBT organizations.
