![]() ![]() Later in the series, a flashback episode of a young Anna in 1960s San Fransisco reveals what she's been hiding all these years. Rather than let her secret be expose, Anna signs over the property to the mysterious blackmailer. This one contains a photo of her and a man in 1966, as well as property deed transfer paperwork for Barbary Lane. The attached note says, "I know you're a fraud." In the third episode, she receives another letter. In the first episode, she receives a letter with an old photo of her standing with several other trans women. Until midway through the season, we don't even know what Anna is being blackmailed for. It's not until the final episode that we finally learn the truth. But by the end of the first episode, we learn that she's also hiding a big secret, and the mystery of who's blackmailing Anna ends up having just as large a role in the story. ![]() And that's what much of the show is about: the bond of the found family she's brought together at 28 Barbary Lane. When we first meet Anna Madrigal in Netflix's Tales of the City, she just seems like a sweet motherly/grandmotherly figure to the queer people of San Fransisco. Spoilers ahead for Tales of the City Season 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even if you could not really call this a thriller, it is written with that crazy intensity. The narrator is Stephen himself, and one of the great merits of the novel is that you never know what is going to happen next. Through Stephen we see a whole universe of the troubled and troubling people which surround him, his peers, teachers, his deceased parents, his crazy aunt. ![]() In this day and age of literary and politically correct stereotypes, Stephen is a full fledged human being, alienated but not crazy, determined to win because winning is meaning. Stephen is the narrator, and he is as human and real a character as you are likely to come into contemporary fiction. The intensity and precision with which Habash goes into the mind of the lead character, the lonely, brilliant, borderline crazy and determined Stephen Florida is dazzling. I'm amazed that this book was not on all the best of the year lists of 2017. Gabe Habash presents himself as a major talent with his debut. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Songbird’s Refrain a wlw fantasy by Jillian Maria, coming FALL 2019.

![]() ![]() Shen story I read / listen to I feel I am going on a journey in which I give her my faith and my trust and I just hold on to the ride. These are people that have so much going on in their lives as individuals and then add the stress of growing up and having to make decisions. When you figure that this story is about Knight and Luna you already know that it will be quite a ride. I will start by saying that this story is WELL WORTH THE HYPE!! If you are a fan of The Sinners of Saint and now the All Saints High having this story told just gives us fans an additional look into what is happening with the characters that we love and adore. It's been a few days since I finished Broken Knight and it is now when I can feel stable enough to write a review, be focused and not ramble away. ![]() ![]() Similarly, what was the Lady of Shalott’s curse?
