At http://latelastnightbooks.com/ I invite you to read my interview with Katie Gilmartin, author of the Lambda Award-winning mystery, Blackmail, My Love. In writing about gay life under 1950s police and societal brutality, Gilmartin also in effect wrote about what it’s like to be a member of the wrong party under a totalitarian government, where people are persecuted for being who they are, for thinking what they think, and for wanting to meet and interact with other like-minded people.
