![]() They are skillful and expert in their various fields and they remain that way all the way through the story. So, that meant that there was a real tension for me in reading – whereas, if it were only that Jess thought Bastian was Cinq, well that may have palled quickly. Because Josiah was a secondary character, I couldn’t be sure as a reader that Josiah wouldn’t actually turn out to be a traitor or even if he was innocent, nevertheless be convicted (and I’m not going to tell you here!). The real conflict was that Josiah might hang and Bastian would be a large part of the cause of it. And it wasn’t just that Bastian, from Jess’ POV, might be Cinq. ![]() ![]() Now she devotes herself to investigating crimes in London and finding justice for the wrongly accused. I love that there is no “big misunderstanding” or anything that could be simply resolved keeping them apart. Séverine de Cabrillac, orphan of the French revolution and sometime British intelligence agent, has tried to leave spying behind her. In spite of themselves they fall into love – come to think of it, this is one of the common themes I have found in Joanna Bourne’s books. They spend a large part of the book in close proximity (I dislike books where the hero/heroine are separated for much of it, movies too for that matter, never fear this does not happen here) but in terms of their deepening relationship, they are kept apart by a real and not at all trivial conflict. ![]() ![]() What I thought (aka, what worked for me and what didn’t): Bastian and Jess are, as I said above, instantly attracted to one another. ![]()

![]() ![]() Historians have long admired Pepys' diary because it features many minor day-to-day happenings that other contemporary documents do not cover. The diary he kept for nearly ten years from 1660 eventually became one of Britain's most celebrated and a unique records of everyday life for an upper middle-class person in Stuart England.

Listening to the score to There, There strikes a profound chord in the students I teach, giving them another dimension through which to read history. Orange reminds us on these pages that our American origin story has a soundtrack that defies white-washing. As Orange bitingly demonstrates in the prologue, American colonialism has white-washed Native American history then reconstructed to a falsely romantic – and dead – past. The title There, There comes both from the Radiohead song of the same name and Oakland native Gertrude Stein.

Hawk deploys the port city of Widdershins, so reminiscent of Lovecraft's Arkham, Kingsport, Dunwich, and Innsmouth, as a Gothic "uncanny city" in which a spectrum of queer and taboo-breaking desires can be acknowledged and pursued-and in which Whyborne and Griffin can heal one another's emotional scars. To achieve this generic hybrid, Hawk must rework Lovecraft's poetics of atmosphere, plot, and character to craft emotion-driven narratives leading to romance fiction's required "happily ever after" endings. Queering Lovecraft's fictional world, however, is a more complex process than merely confronting a same-sex couple with Lovecraftian dangers. In an ominously familiar 1890s New England setting, antiquarian scholar Percival Endicott Whyborne and ex-Pinkerton private detective Griffin Flaherty confront the obstacles to their prohibited relationship even as they contend with dark family secrets, deranged sorcerers, and re-emergent Old Ones. ![]() Hawk's Whyborne and Griffin series (2012-2019) blend two seemingly incompatible genres: Lovecraftian weird fiction and male/male paranormal romance. ![]() ![]() The eleven novels and several shorter texts comprising Jordan L. ![]() ![]() ![]() Processing TimesĪll in stock orders are aimed to be processed within 4 to 14 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email.
