My short story collection, A Vigil for Joe Rose, will be released in October 2009. The novella, “The Last Coming Out Story,” was workshopped and improved here on GayAuthors thanks to the help of many kind members. A Vigil for Joe Rose is a collection of stories told with empathy and humour about the experience of being out in high school. As a unified collection, these eight short stories and a novella chart the journey of the main characters from first coming out to their growth into confident young gay men, and the challenges, triumphs, and losses along the way. A unique insider’s look told from the point-of-view of teens in high school. To become a fan of A Vigil for Joe Rose on facebook and receive news, click here. A Vigil for Joe Rose will be available in the UK, USA, and Canada through Amazon, in Canada through Chapters.Indigo.ca, through bn.com (Barnes & Noble) in the US, and worldwide through local book sellers.

Who says relationships are supposed to last forever? In one way or another, they have to end, whether by break-up or death. What if we're meant to learn and experience what we do with another person, and that's that? A boss of mine was almost suicidal because his wife of 25 years was divorcing him. He saw the marriage as a failure because they were divorcing. But I asked him how those 25 years were together, and he said they were amazing save for the last 3. Well, isn't that a success? 22 years of a great relationship is often more than most people will have, and I don't mean the length but the quality. Like everything in this world (and here's where it gets depressing), everything has an expiry date. Why not relationships? Look at what was good and not what was lost.

This is one of the few shows on TV that actually makes me laugh. That says a lot.

Jinx! When I saw the thread's title I immediately thought the ending of Six Feet Under. It's the only end of a series that I felt satisfied when it was over, and I hated to see it end. "Breath" will always make me think of it.

Does anyone have an "inside" contact at Alyson Books? What do you know about them as publishers?
