Ronni’s works in process:

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.
