Jeff Baker, Boogieman In Lavender: Catweazle: “Everything Works!” (July, 2026)

by

Catweazle—Everything Works! by Jeff Baker “Nothing works!” Catweazle, in frustration. (Said often.) It was an obscure British children’s TV show from over half-a-century ago. It was intended apparently to be more educational, but like its titular title character, that’s not how it turned out. Given British television’s habit of recording new shows over tapes of the old (there’s a frantic search on for early “Dr. Who” episodes!) the show, like it’s wizardly character, was believed vanished and lost but showed up intact, having been filmed. And one of its actors gives the show a tenuous Gay connection. “Catweazle,” the series … Read more

Books For Pride Month. Jeff Baker, Boogieman In Lavender (June 5, 2026)

by

Books For Pride Month By Jeff Baker Just in time for Pride Month (which is why I’m posting this early!) I’m selecting several of my favorite LGBT-themed books to dip into for June. And I acknowlege I’ve probably talked about these in this space before. Most of them should be readily available to read online, to order online or find at your new or used bookstore. And the bulk of them are short-story collections or anthologies. (Full disclosure; I know some of these authors and I’m actually mentioned in a story introduction in one of the books!) In no particular … Read more

Jeff Baker; Boogieman In Lavender: Peter Lefcourt’s “The Dreyfus Affair”

by

The Dreyfus Affair by Jeff Baker A couple of decades before “Heated Rivalry” heated up bookstores and screens, there was the story of Randy Dreyfus and D. J. Pickett causing a stir among the sports-minded in Peter Lefcourt’s 1992 baseball novel “The Dreyfus Affair.” Set presumably in the early Two-Thousands and loosely patterned after the famous Ninteenth-Century political scandal that gives the book its title, the novel takes a lighter tone and was reportedly sold on a one-sentence pitch: a shortstop falls in love with his second baseman. Said Shortstop, Randy Dreyfus, has started noticing an attraction to Second Baseman … Read more
