Miami can be not-so-nice, so we'll say it thrice. The sunlit city isn't just the fictional home of The Golden Girls.

In A TIME TO KILL, Season 1, Episode 5, entitled "A Miami Murder M...

When tragedy strikes the passionate relationship between Shane Crone and a young singer named Tom Bridegroom it's hard not t...

When Eric Shaw Quinn submitted his comedic novel about gay parenting to publishers in the 1990's, many were shocked. One editor dismissed SAY UNCLE by saying "You and I simply don't see the world in the same way, Mr. Quinn."

What do Albert Einstein, the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and the sleepy beach town of Santa Cruz, California have in common? Nothing.

For the first time, Christopher and Eric head to You Tube for this installment of #TrueCrimeTVClub, servin...
