I really enjoy your books. Have you ever read any of the books in the Nancy Clue series? It's also a kind of campy, satirical look at early 60s chick-lit.

You must mean Mabel Maney's books, and yes, I've read them all. Loved them. I actually own a kind of art book version of "The Case of the Not So Nice Nurse" (I think it was something that maybe Maney did in art school, a precursor to the published book). They were such an improvement on the actual Nancy Drews which I was never a fan of. I preferred the Hardy Boys.

Monica Nolan:
I've loved all your novels. They're colorful and fun, and there's something incredibly comforting about a fictional world where all the characters are lesbians, whether heroes, villains, authority figures or bystanders. Was your inclusion of Mimi in Bobby Blanchard and Beverly in Dolly Dingle a deliberate attempt to diversify a very white cast? Do you think we might get a novel with Beverly as the lead someday?
