It’s not easy growing up in lower Alabama tall and ugly with kids picking on you just because you prefer being a girl. Too-Sweet learned early on that the only way to keep kids from picking on her and chucking rocks and shit was to knock fire from their asses. If Too-Sweet hadn't liked being a girl so much, he could of boxed like his older brothers and maybe of turned pro. Tired of lower Alabama Too-Sweet decided to head out to San Francisco and make her fame and fortune. One day while whoring and taking a worthless check, Too-Sweet inadvertently robs a bank and a star is born.

Divas is a transgender bar in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. The owner, Abdul, is an Arab who looks like Yasser Arafat on a bad hair day. Think of DIVAS as sort of like the TV show Cheers--if the cast was a bunch of crazy queens who mostly turn tricks out front of the club on the stroll. But what sets the story are two redneck robbery/homicide detectives Percy Hobitch and Myron Ledbetter who work for the SFPD. They like nothing better than tormenting the denizens of the T.L.

The author Ralph Griffith admits that writing a comedy about transexual bank robbers and two serial killers might sound strange, but it comes off beautifully as a well written cult classic. The author guarantees that you have never read a story as wild as this and although he calls it fiction the characters are for real.
