How The Soldier, the Avatar, and the Holocaust came about

I’ve been asked how The Soldier, the Avatar, and the Holocaust came about. My father wrote over 500 letters to my mother when he was a young newly-married soldier in 1944-1946. I didn’t know that my mother had kept every one of them for all these decades. One day she showed them to my sisters

The Key West Lesbian Story
as told by Sarah the Cat

Coming in the fall, 2018. $15.99

The last lesbian Key West guest house closed last year. Sara Cat has seen it all in her 150 years: the women pirates, the women cigar growers, the writers and poets an d entrepreneurs – all women – who came to Key West. Some stayed, some left, but all left their mark on a lesbian community that has seen many changes. Closeted women, out women, young women and elders, all with their own words and language and understanding of what it means to be a lesbian. I was a tiny kitten, in the first of my nine lives, when I came to Key West from Cuba with Louisa. I share with you what I know which may or may not be the truth. Years ago, I remember hearing one of the writers in town, maybe Ernest or maybe Tennessee, who knows, say something like, "I never let truth get in the way of a good story." Nor shall I.
