Long Day is one of my first stories and follows Jake Tull who suffers from aphasia - which manifests in his being restricted to, mostly, repeating recorded words like song lyric. An all time favorite of mine.

Sebastian Sanspere is an enigma. Everyone likes him, but no one knows anything about him. He wears clothes under protest, but no one seems to mind. His home life is alarmingly odd. He doesn’t know who his father was, yet he’s managed to remain a ‘normal’ and thoroughly nice guy in the opinion of those who are not concerned by his penchant for nudity.

In this fast paced tale of criminal intrigue, porno rings, abductions and violence in tropical Australia, Sebastian and his boyfriend, Reginald, get accidentally caught up in the mayhem and have to fight for their lives against the big-moneyed bad boys.

As I considered the question, I wondered if the casual summer job that I have for the past few years was still available, which I had really enjoyed, and began just two days after Boxing Day. “I don’t know, nothing until after Christmas, and after that I am hoping that I will have my usual old job,” I replied.
