\"\"<\/a>As the author of the historical novel Star-Crossed<\/em><\/a>, a title that plays on the practice of cross-dressing, I was asked by Ben Fox, founder of Shepherd.com to share my five favorite books related to it.<\/p>\n

It was so difficult to choose only five!\u00a0 I read so many books while researching the history of cross-dressing — not to mention all the nautical and social history that went into it.\u00a0 The books I decided on for\u00a0 Shepherd.com<\/a> are those which I felt are very readable — not overly academic — and ones that I discovered and read early on in my writing process. They are books I have on my shelf and have lent out on occasion. They are old friends.<\/p>\n

Star-Crossed<\/em> was republished as Barbados Bound; Book one of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventures<\/em> in 2010 by Fireship Press, with a few changes, none of which are substantive to the narrative.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Star-Crossed<\/em> was a New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age – 2007.\u00a0 It’s been sixteen years since Knopf published the title in the fall of 2006. The book went out of print and is currently only available as a used book in hardback, library, and mass market paperback formats.<\/p>\n

A reprint of the original Star-Crossed<\/em> is forthcoming…<\/p>\n
