SUMMARY:Twin Cities Lesbian Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Book Club that meets online via Zoom – please direct all questions and requests for the Zoom link to jchandlerauthor@gmail.com \nYou are welcome to attend even if you didn’t read the book\, or didn’t like it. We enjoy staying in touch with our friends! \nDecember – Transitory by JM Redmann—A Mickey Knight Mystery \nDecember Book \nThe cops blow it off\, another Black transgender woman who surprised a customer with what was under the dress—bad luck she was pushed out of the car and then hit by another vehicle. But Micky Knight witnessed it\, crossing the street at the right—or wrong—time\, only yards away from what didn’t look at all like an accident to her. The woman was dressed more like a librarian than a sex worker. It’s not her case\, she was just walking home from a local bar. No ID was found on the victim\, and the only clue is an appointment card with cryptic initials\, CJ at CC. Micky has a good idea what they mean—Cordelia James at CrescentCare\, a local health clinic that sees many transgender clients. Cordelia\, a doctor and her ex. Micky doesn’t want to get involved\, but there will be no justice if she doesn’t. As she investigates\, she uncovers a family in turmoil and ugly secrets—ones people will kill for. \n

We enjoy staying in touch with our friends! \nNovember – Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo—A story of love and duty set in San Francisco’s Chinatown during the Red Scare \nNovember Book \nWinner of the National Book Award\nA New York Times Bestseller \n“The queer romance we’ve been waiting for.”—Ms. Magazine \nSeventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the feeling took root—that desire to look\, to move closer\, to touch. Whenever it started growing\, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. \nBut America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love\, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone\, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Author Reading: Dianna Hunter\, Clouded Waters
DESCRIPTION:About the event \nPlease join Quatrefoil Library and the L Spot Shop for a cozy morning celebration of the launch of Dianna Hunter’s latest publication—Clouded Waters—a mystery/romance novel set in what we now call the Mesabi Range in Minnesota—published by Holy Cow! Press (October 10\, 2023). After reading from and discussing her novel\, Dianna (she/her) will be joined by local author\,  scholar\, and long-time friend—Dr.  Christine A. Jenkins (she/her) (yes\, our very own Christine!) for a short talk on the compelling history of mysteries with lesbian protagonists. Come for the reading\, and stay for the mingle! Peace Coffee\, Baker’s Wife donuts\, and light refreshments will be provided. All of Dianna’s books will be available for purchase and signing. \n  \nAbout the book\nClouded Waters is a mash-up of whodunit\, Sapphic romance\, and dispatches from the Anthropocene. Susan B. Ellingson (SB to those who know her) publishes a struggling newspaper with the help of her best friend and a part-time staff. Near the mining town of Iron\, Minnesota\, waters split along a three-way divide\, carrying minerals and contaminants to Hudson Bay\, the Great Lakes\, and the Gulf of Mexico. When a corporation seeks a permit to dig for copper and nickel and store potentially harmful mining waste nearby\, locals divide into pro-mining and clean water camps. SB commits to covering the story\, even as she wrestles with political\, financial\, and family stresses. Her mother-in-law leads a group of Ojibwe and Métis grandmothers fighting to protect the water. Her dead wife lingers in spirit. Their children have grown and left home\, and her Labrador provides sweet but insufficient company. When an intriguing new woman comes to town\, SB doesn’t want to trust her intuitions. After a fiery environmentalist informs her that a local water scientist has gone missing\, she follows a trail of evidence from a tiny\, off-grid community into a global tangle of lies\, corruption\, whistleblowing\, and danger. \n  \n“Clouded Waters takes us deep into the Minnesota north country\, where the combustible mix of environmental values and the needs of business and local employment vie with each other\, producing hot-blooded emotions with deadly results. Combining both mystery and romance\, Hunter gives us a story that speaks to many of the deepest divisions in America today. Highly recommended.” \n—Ellen Hart\, Mystery Writers of America Grand Master \n  \nAbout the author\nDianna Hunter is a Minnesota writer\, educator\, urban grower\, and forager. Clouded Waters is Dianna’s first novel. Dianna’s memoir\, Wild Mares: My Lesbian Back-to-the-Land Life (University of Minnesota Press\, 2018)\, and nonfiction Breaking Hard Ground: Stories of the Minnesota Farm Advocates (Holy Cow! Press\, 1996)\, were finalists for the Minnesota Book Award. After coming out\, she contributed to the early Minneapolis lesbian journal So’s Your Old Lady\, and lived with other lesbians on farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin. She later ran her own dairy farm and worked as a farmers’ advocate before earning an MA in English (Creative Writing) from Iowa State University. She directed programs in writing and gender equity\, as well as teaching writing and women’s and gender studies at four universities\, including the University of Minnesota Duluth and the University of Wisconsin-Superior. She has published\, read\, and performed short stories\, poetry\, journalism\, and creative nonfiction in regional and national venues such as Feminist Collections\, Hurricane Alice\, Peregrine\, Earth Matters\, the Rural Women’s Studies Association blog\, and In These Times Rural America blog. \n
