THEY in Windy City Times — “a secret society … not in keeping with gender norms” — #amreading #LGBTQ
December 27, 2018 by Janet Mason
What if you could meet a secret society of welcoming misfits—omitted from patriarchal biblical history—just because they are not in keeping with gender norms?
With They: A Biblical Tale of Secret Genders, author Janet Mason posits that there could have been a hidden tribe of intersex children, kept under the radar by a pair of savvy twin sisters. Matriarchs Tamar and Tabitha can set the record straight on biblical heroes like Joseph and Jesus, along with other miracles of conception and reincarnation they’ve had to keep to themselves. — Windy City Times
available in bookstores and online where books are sold

“Mooey” Xmas and a Happy New Year!
December 24, 2018 by Janet Mason
We’ve been having a genuinely good time reinventing tradition —
so no matter what and how you celebrate – here’s wishing you and happy holiday season
and as my partner says
“A Mooey Xmas and a Happy New Year!”

Living True reviews THEY — #amreading #LGBTQ down under
December 21, 2018 by Janet Mason
“Tamar leads us through their world with intelligence and humour, bringing the old tales to life and making them accessible to the contemporary reader; infusing them with a modern subtext to give them relevance in today’s world. Unconventional families, shattered typecasts, twisted myths and all presented with a tongue in cheek subtlety and wit. Mason has managed to take a complex and rather alien historical setting, merge it with up to the minute social mores and produce an amusing read.”
