This Author, Valerie Taylor also wrote "Prism," a popular lesbian novel from the mid eighties, and several other books in the Lesbian Pulp Fiction genre. I read them before time began. She had been married with children until she came out, and had one son, possibly two. When I first knew her, she was a dear woman, just past sixty years of age. Her life partner of many years, lesbian Lawyer Pearl Heart, had died just before we met. I was proud to call her my dear friend for years. We visited, chatted and exchanged letters for many years. She published a book of Poetry with another lesbian poet, Jeannette Foster, author Of Sex Variant Women in Literature, a mighty overview of lesbians in literature. She was involved in, and Keynote Speaker at two Lesbian Writer's Conferences in Chicago, organized by Marie Kuda and other lesbian Writers in the Chicago Area. When she retired from her long time job at a clipping service and from her daytime editor job, she moved, First to Margaretville, New York, where she lived in the small town of her dreams. Making a fresh start in life in her early sixties. She had a brief but passionate affair with a widowed straight woman, who broke her heart. She spoke of this woman but once to me, when she later quipped, "These mixed marriages never work out." She had a very bad fall on the ice that winter, and broke some bones. When she recovered, her son helped her move across the country to relocate someplace with no ice. She always had pain where she had broken bones, Tucson, Arizona was the place she chose to rebuild her life from scratch yet another time; this time permanently. She became Mother Goddess to a whole new group of young lesbians, who loved her and lovingly cared for as she aged. A couple or three women moved in to care for her for several years, until she was unable to live at home. Then she moved into a nursing home, where her friends raised money to pay for the cost of her care, and checked on her daily until her quiet death. She died surrounded by her friends, and was mourned Nationally in Lesbian and Gay Media. I, too, mourned her, and took comfort in the fact that she had a productive, full life and was beloved by all who knew her.

Another Spenser novel? Did I really need to read another murder mystery? Actually, the beautiful part of the early Spenser novels is the fact that many of the mysteries have nothing to do with murder. To be sure, there are occasionally murders (or, at least, deaths) involved in the plots, but these aren’t the usual locked-door or overlapping alibi murder mysteries. Rather, one gets the sense that Robert Parker understands the variety of clients and situations with which a private investigator might be confronted. The clients are rarely completely honest with Parker’s protagonist and Spenser’s own actions vacillate dramatically from pure pragmatism to enigmatic altruism. Promised Land is just such a convoluted plot initiated with a simple missing-person scenario. Yet, by the time the narrative tapestry is unraveled, we have been treated to a bank robbery with a vague similarity to Patty Hearst’s real-life experience, a conspiracy to purchase illegal weapons, the murky world of loan-sharking, and poetic justice mingled with vigilante justice. Neither of the detective’s clients are commendable or even street-wise. They are victims who bring the consequences they face onto themselves. Yet, I found myself intrigued by Spenser’s eccentric moral compass and delighted by the badinage and clever one-upmanship he continues to attempt as he deals with street scum and ne’er-do-wells. Reading these early novels in the series makes me even more determined to re-read some of the later novels in the series. If, like me, you often enjoy reading for escape, a chance to visit scenes and situations that you’d never be likely to encounter in your day-to-day life, these novels are great fun. They lack the psychological horror of Dick Francis or the procedural detail of P.D. James, but they are well worth reading, nonetheless. Naturally, it is problematic to read later novels in a series and go back to the beginnings. Yet, there is a certain satisfaction to reading about Susan Silverman and learning how that unusual relationship evolved. Again, the handling of personal issues seems both authentic and commendable. There is a certain attraction/repulsion that goes on in certain areas of their relationship and I like the way it always hangs there, only finding temporary resolution.
