	All Books by William Rooney - Author of : Infidelity Paperback - 218 pages (November 1999) Harrington Park Pr; ISBN: 1560239468 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Can a relationship based on incredibly passionate and raw sexual fulfillment disguise itself as true love? Or is true love just a name given to sexual fulfillment? Such was the question faced by Tom Clifden, a clever street hustler who found himself sexually glued to Hank Carter, a struggling would-be actor in New York City. Their physical and sexual appetites for each other knew no boundaries. Night after night they reveled in passionate and uninhibited sexual episodes. But the question comes up much later. Tom is 53 years old and (without Hank) has used his good looks and street smarts to good advantage. He owns a string of bars across the country and is comfortably settled in Key West. His quietude ends abruptly when a letter arrives from Eunice, a woman who 25 years earlier was Hank's first love-and the woman whom Hank had abandoned for Tom's unbelievable sexual powers and pleasures. "Hank is dead." The letter was short and to the point. More letters follow and more are exchanged. The correspondence evolves into a steamy, explicit tale about Hank's true character and identity-a Hank that for so many long years Tom had not even known. This is the story of two handsome young men who try to build a relationship during the sexually explosive and carefree years of the late 60s. The tale of their love unfolds, revealing the challenges of the ever-growing temptations of INFIDELITY." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by William Storandt - Author of : The Summer They Came Paperback: 272 pages (May 14, 2002) Villard Books; ISBN: 0375759093 "General Gay Fiction Books; There was a time when the seaside town of Long Spit was known only to a few wealthy families and a straggle of New England beachgoers. But when gay developers from Man-hattan, searching for a new place for summer shares and tea dances, get a look at its gently curving beaches, they hatch an ingenious plan to transform the sleepy Rhode Island hideaway into the next gay hotspot. If only someone would tell the townsfolk. As a contingent of gym-buffed and cell-phone-toting vacationers descends on the village, some locals are outraged, others strangely titillated. Hollis Wynbourne, a reclusive antiques dealer and longtime subject of gossip, is drawn from his cocoon by the sight of sunbathing beauties; wealthy Wesley Herndon suddenly finds the town overrun with his two favorite attractions, frisky hunks and yachts of pedigree; and Anthony, a callow eighteen-year-old, embarks on a sentimental education he never expected to get in his own backyard. An uproarious send-up of both small-town provincialism and the absurdities of contemporary gay life, The Summer They Came will capture you with its portrait of a town you thought you knew, run amuck."

	All Books by Jonathan Strong - Author of : The Old World Paperback - 166 pages (September 1997) Unknown; ISBN: 094407281X "General Gay Fiction Books; The Old World tells of four young male students from a small Massachusetts mill town--all of whom are on the verge of discovering their homosexuality--who are influenced by an eccentric, strong-willed, elderly teacher named Anna Aylmer. Much of the story is set in the present as the boys, now men, deal with AIDS. In Jonathan Strong's capable hands and illuminating prose, what begins as a coming-of-age tale, a sort of serious Auntie Mame, becomes a meditation on history and mortality and underscores the impossibility of truly understanding either. In moving through time and memory The Old World shows how tightly and unexpectedly the past is linked to our present lives" Click to buy this book in USA, UK:
