Italian Bodies of Change

Maria's Secret is out and it's a Killer

Part Two of the

Italian Bones of Contentions Pride Series

Maria was born ‘special,’ but nobody really cared - especially Andy Giordani, her mother - until Maria’s stugats dropped during a fight with the daughter of the Irish West End Gang leader. 

          With her life in mortal danger, Maria’s family desperately tries to hide her intersex truth from the homophobic West End Gang, the nearby Montreal Sicilian Mafia, and their own ‘Ndrangheta. But her powerful father, Stefano Giordani, longing for the old Maria and unable to face her physical changes, flies in Venezuelan bodyguard Alessandro Pesseck. Instead, he leaves for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to expand the famiglia’s laundering business under the firm and dangerous guidance of famiglia head, Zio Leo Mangione. 

          Bodies keep falling as collateral damage, but as far as her family is concerned, Maria’s not friggin’ going’ anywhere.         

          Italian Bodies of Change, the second part of the Italian Bones of Contentions Pride Series, continues the Giordani saga as the family fulfills its destiny within the French Canadian ‘Ndrangeta - the Calabrian Mafia.

Argentine Riptide:

Military Coups,

Nazi Intrigues, Eva Peron:

What’s Not to Like?

by Liesje Wagner

Inspired by actual events: In the middle of the Depression, while American relations soured with politically tumultuous Argentina, young Torontonian Phyllis May met and married Stuart Redington, a young, handsome American working for Remington-Rand. Trade reopened between Argentina and the British Commonwealth, and Stuart was transferred from the company’s Upper Canada offices to Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, a few years prior and unbeknownst to Phyl, Stuart was recruited upon graduation from Princeton into the forerunner of today’s FBI: G-Man Program. With noble intentions, he secretly set out as a G-Man for the US Foreign Service. Working for a British Commonwealth office and married to a Canadian was a perfect cover.

          In the meantime, it was innocent Phyl’s lifelong dream—fancy ships, tuxedos, exotic lands, and palm trees. But did she wonder why her bright husband would work as a humble salesman? 

           An initial two-year contract was to garner them enough to put a down payment on a home in North America while the world struggled to put food on the table. However, foreign culture and the constant threat of danger almost took their toll. Still, Phyl and Stu had no choice but to desperately tread water in a constant Argentine riptide that incessantly pulled them between North America and Argentina amid military coups, Nazi intrigues, World War II, and Eva Peron, a woman with whom Phyl felt intricately involved. 

          Be careful of what you wish for. Mata Hari with an iron will? Phyl was not. But only at first…
