Blurb:
It’s another night in San Francisco, and Randy (a.k.a Miranda, when she’s not dressed like a boy) has hit the streets looking for trouble. She has an eye for gay men in leathers, and most nights she’s too much of a girl for them. But tonight Randy meets her match – Jack, who thinks she’s hot no matter who she is.
This is San Francisco’s notorious SOMA, a neighborhood colonized by leatherfolk long before the dot-commers came (and left). From dark alleys to tastefully appointed dungeons, from hotel penthouses to tranny bars, Randy/Miranda explores and embraces her desires – none of them fenced in by anyone else’s idea of sex, gender, and/or sexual orientation. With Jack and other denizens of San Francisco’s sexual underground, she creates her own alternative vision of family values.
Originally published in 1998, The Leather Daddy and the Femme won a Firecracker Alternative Book Award for Best Fiction. This is the Author’s Edition, including several chapters not included in the earlier edition and a new introduction.
