A Queer Death at Secret Pearl There's never a dull moment at the Secret Pearl, Florida's wildest lesbian retirement community. Retired veterinarian Judith Fletcher moves into this modern-day trailer park with her coterie of cats and a potty-mouthed parrot, only to find her first social gathering interrupted by the suspicious death of long-time resident and master baker Betty Black. All fingers point to Wheezer, the Pearl's favorite curmudgeon, as the killer. The investigation, complicated by bumbling cops, the rumor grapevine, and drug-addled speculation, falls to the women of the Secret Pearl to solve. Pack your bags and move in with the Secret Pearl gang as they solve the mystery of Betty's untimely passing. Along the way, their lives are jam-packed with non-stop mayhem, madcap adventures, and a surprising amount of wanton post-menopausal sex. This quirky lighthearted lesbian caper is a reminder that old age should never be an impediment to fun.

An intimately charged novel of desire and disaster from the National Book Award-winning author of Trust Exercise and A Person of Interest Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. He’s said to lie in the dark in his office while undergraduate women read couplets to him. He’s condemned on the walls of the women’s restroom, and enjoys films by Roman Polanski. But no one has warned Regina about his exceptional physical beauty—or his charismatic, volatile wife. My Education is the story of Regina’s mistakes, which only begin in the bedroom, and end—if they do—fifteen years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, Regina’s misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge.

Irene’s recipes for her signature scents are a well guarded secret—but it's not the only one behind these gates. This estate offers a unique freedom, where none of the residents or staff hide who they are. But to keep their secret, they've needed to keep others out. And now they're worried they're keeping a murderer in. Irene’s widow hires Evander Mills to uncover the truth behind her mysterious death. Andy, recently fired from the San Francisco police after being caught in a raid on a gay bar, is happy to accept—his calendar is wide open. And his secret is the kind of secret the Lamontaines understand. Andy had never imagined a world like Lavender House. He's seduced by the safety and freedom found behind its gates, where a queer family lives honestly and openly. But that honesty doesn't extend to everything, and he quickly finds himself a pawn in a family game of old money, subterfuge, and jealousy—and Irene’s death is only the beginning. When your existence is a crime, everything you do is criminal, and the gates of Lavender House can’t lock out the real world forever. Running a soap empire can be a dirty business.
