LGBTSr Celebrates 10 Years with a Comeback!
Yes, it’s been a decade. I was a mere 52, contemplating whatever years immediately precede the golden ones, when I decided to launch a website dedicated to the over-50 LGBTQ audience. Not only have I left my 50s behind, but we officially added the ‘Q’ as our umbrella gets bigger and more inclusive.
With a couple of extended vacations from LGBTSr.com, I’ve been doing this site for a decade. I’m collecting Social Security now. I’m a year from retiring from full time work (I will almost certainly work part time after that, but not in my current position). And I’ve written and published 10 novels of the mystery and thriller varieties
Here we are, full circle. I’ll be focused on growing the site and subscriber list, while offering more of the best of LGBTSr and some new features along the way: columns, book reviews, podcasts, news, and the rainbow kitchen sink, all in one location.
Speaking of which, I’ve made two eBooks available for current and new subscribers … and you! Just click on the links below to download them through BookFunnel, and read away.
It’s been a great ten years, with all its ups and downs. Here’s to ten more. And please consider consider becoming a SUBSCRIBER. You’ll receive regular updates with new content, never any spam, and all emails are kept confidential and used only for the purpose of the LGBTSr newsletter.

In Black Cat White Paws, recently widowed Maggie Dahl finds herself faced with challenges on all fronts: life alone in a new town, running a business she and her husband had dreamed of and started together, and now pursuing a killer. Her sister Gerri moves from Philadelphia to Lambertville, New Jersey, to support her sister and start a new life of her own. Together the women search for a murderer, helped in critical ways by their neighbor’s cat. A black cat with white paws. A cat whose independence sets it all in motion and sees it through to the end.
