Blair Fell is a literary wonder. His work in television includes shows like Queer as Folk and the Emmy-winning California Connected. He has written a dozen plays—some award-winning, like Naked Will and The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun, plus the downtown cult favorite Burning Habits. His essays have appeared in the HuffPost, Out, and the New York Daily News. He’s a two-time winner of the Doris Lippman Prize in Creative Writing at City College, where he first started writing his debut novel, The Sign for Home. And, his latest novel, The Disco Witches of Fire Island, is piling on the accolades—my own included. I am devouring this witty, magical, heartfelt, and sometimes heartbreaking 1980s tale.

Patchogue’s Sandspit Lighthouse looks spiffy now, with a ramp and side railings so visitors and residents can meander and enjoy the view. However, most people are unaware of its long history of starts and stops. “The original one was a WPA project along with the rock pile,” said Matt Sherman, owner of the Davis Park Ferry Company, along with his sister-in-law Stephanie Sherman. (The WPA—Works Progress Administration—was a New Deal agency established in 1935 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. It employed millions of people who were out of work.)
