Taxonomy upgrade extras:
I have a new ebook, "The Haight", exclusively at Amazon for Kindle. It's part of the Kindle Select program, which means Amazon Prime members can get it for free.
It's the story of ...oh, heck--here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Haight-ebook/dp/B006SU6R4Y/ref=sr_...
"The Haight" is set in 1967 San Francisco, and is more mainstream than some of my other books; TG is only one of several elements in the story. It has famous, real-world people in it as well as fictional characters, and is as historically and socially accurate as possible.
What interested me for the transgendered character is that 1967 was two years before Stonewall brought the gay world out of the shadows and into the public forum, leading to the formation of the gay rights movement--and also the divisions and fractures that split the GLBT world. At the same time, it is the year after the New York Times broke the story that Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore was performing "sex-change operations".
How would it be for a genuinely transgendered individual in such a tumultuous time?
I've also been getting great feedback for my other "more mainstream" book, "Reclamation", which is also a Kindle Select edition ( http://www.amazon.com/Reclamation-ebook/dp/B006KYE5P6/ref=sr... ). It's set in Whistler, BC, and has been getting good reviews.
Please enjoy, and let me know what you think of my books!
