On Beyond Cisgender IV, or: Shirley You Can’t Be Serious by Jeff Baker AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is an occasional feature of this column where I spotlight (or at least mention) writers who aren’t in the White, Male, Cisgender paradigm as possible reading material for High School age readers. She was a housewife, a mother, a writer and (she claimed) a witch. Her work remains familiar today and may not be as obscure as some of the writers mentioned for “On Beyond Cisgender.” In fact when I was in Grade School in the 60s, her novels were still sought-out in school … Read more

If the prose is not precisely gripping, the plot is, and the paranormal premise is superbly creepy. Also, the characters are wonderfully fleshed out, which is critical because the interactions between George Donovan and Andi Hayes give the book an emotional center that takes it beyond considerations of plot alone.  Andrew Hayes, known as Andi, is a hugely successful young homicide … Read more

    The Groovy Gay World of Victor J. Banis                                          By Jeff Baker             It was the Swinging Sixties.             Spies were everywhere. Fictional ones, anyway.

The British movie “Carry On Spying” pre-dated Smart by about a year.             And the coolest, grooviest, most flamboyant superspy of them all wore outrageous outfits, used super-gadgetry as well as his good looks, charm and a fair amount of sex … Read more
