Books I've Read

Lesbian Detective Kate Delafield is asked to help an officer who is accused of killing a suspected drug pusher.

Lesbian LAPD Detective Kate Delafield is shot at in D.C. while attending a reunion of Vietnam Vets.

I read the Project Gutenberg e-book edition. Which did not include the Appendix that the author wrote many years later. I didn't get very excited by this Edwardian romance. Some parts were good, some clever, some even funny. But mostly not.

Last book of the Pip & Flinx series, as everything is wrapped up.

Another Flinx and Pip adventure. Flinx visits his ex-flame Clarity.

First book of the Marc and George trilogy, I guess. Marc (and George) is kidnapped by aliens to be sold as slaves or something. They escape in volume one. George is a dog, by the way, who can talk, thanks to said aliens. LATER: It's called the Taken trilogy.

A Pip & Flinx Adventure. Flinx (and Pip, of course) go to Gestalt to find Flinx's dad. It's cold there. Pink snow.

A small expedition of scientists go to the mysterious "disappearing" title planet to see what is up, and make some startling discoveries. Unfortunately, they are marooned there.

A Pip & Flinx adventure. Flinx goes on vacation, ends up on a planet getting bonked on the head and losing his memory. Not a bad little story. A weep near the end.

In book three of the Taken Trilogy, Marcus and George nearly end up back where they first met, in the hands of those nasty aliens!

Second book in the Taken Trilogy, Marcus becomes a chef, gets a crush on an alien chick, is named military boss, is captured, un-captured, and zooms away towards the third book. I SWEAR I read this book before, but it is not in the data base. Apparently didn't make enough impression on me to start sounding familiar until page 85.

A Pip & Flinx adventure. Flinx help a young thief out of trouble several times.

A vet cares for wildlife that is injured, and starts the Northwoods Wildlife Hospital And Rehabilitation Center in Wisconsin. He passed away from ALS two years after the books was published, in 1987. Which was three years before we bought it. I also found out that he, his partner, and his brother started a very successful pet supplies business, which continues to this day.

The purple gang was a group of booze smugglers and illegal gambling operators in Detroit. Also tagged Detroit's Kosher Nostra.

A recounting of the investigation into the murder of a boy in Ypsilanti in 1935. A quick read!

Jake is suspended from college for drinking, and decides to get a job at the "steel mill" his father and grandfather worked at. He meets men of a much different background than he, and learns a bit about how the world really is before he goes back to college. I enjoyed reading this novel, but I kept projecting myself into the Jake character, except Jake is rather smarter than I am!

Cowgirl and folk museum director Benni Harper finds out who killed the old man at the prom.

Jessie is kidnapped, shanghaied, if you will, by the crew of a slave trader.

Young Benedict Juliard helps his father win an election, and a few years later he solves a crimes from back then.

A bank loans money to buy a race horse.
