One of my favorite authors and a former Richmonder... Patricia Cornwell
Patricia Cornwell was born on June 9, 1956, in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Montreat, North Carolina. Following graduation from Davidson College in 1979, she began working at the Charlotte Observer, rapidly advancing from listing television programs to writing feature articles to covering the police beat. She won an investigative reporting award from the North Carolina Press Association for a series of articles on prostitution and crime in downtown Charlotte. Her award-winning biography of Ruth Bell Graham, A Time for Remembering, was published in 1983. From 1984 to 1990 she worked as a technical writer and a computer analyst at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. Her first crime novel, Postmortem, was published by Scribner’s in 1990. Initially rejected by seven major publishing houses, it became the first novel to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity awards as well as the French Prix du Roman d’Aventure in a single year. In Postmortem, Cornwell introduced Dr. Kay Scarpetta as the intrepid Chief Medical Examiner of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1999, Dr. Scarpetta herself won the Sherlock Award for best detective created by an American author. Often interviewed on national television as a forensic consultant, Cornwell is a founder of the Virginia Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine; a founding member of the National Forensic Academy; a member of the Advisory Board for the Forensic Sciences Training Program at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, NYC; and a member of the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital’s National Council, where she is an advocate for psychiatric research. She is also well known for her philanthropic contributions to animal rescue and criminal justice as well as endowing college scholarships and promoting the cause of literacy on the national scene. Some of her projects include the establishment of an ICU at Cornell’s Animal Hospital, the archaeological excavation of Jamestown, and the scientific study of the Confederacy’s submarine H.L. Hunley. Most recently she donated a million dollars to Harvard’s Fogg Museum to establish a chair in inorganic science. from www.patriciacornwell.com |

Considered the most beautiful woman in the world during her heyday - 1930's & 40's - Greta Garbo had many affairs with women. Hugo Vicker's biography: 'Loving Garbo', is a tell-all and insightful view of her romantic involvement with Mercedes de Acosta & Cecil Beaton (who was gay himself, but evidently could not resist the Swede). It is a facinating read, and also exposes many other 'ladies' of the 'sewing circle'.

she did a really interesting interview on the lesbian mafia podcast. i had no idea how much of a feminist she was. she didn't strike me as esp. trans-friendly but definitely a very interesting interview.

Ha! I highly doubt she is a feminist. I don't know about trans-unfriendliness but it wouldn't surprise me. She's a total nut. An equal opportunity offender. lol. That's her schtick, I think. I guess that's why she's famous and highly visible. She's like the queer Anne Coulter. lol. Not every famous queer is one to emulate!
