It started in 1999 and was going strong when I started Gay Authors, so he was one of the first authors I recruited here. In reviewing the text for the blurb, I once again got sucked into the story. I'm not really sure what it is. The quirky humor? The appeal to a better nature? The vivid physicality of the writing? The Faith? I guess in the end for me it has to be that feeling of striving to be better that the characters exhibit. There is a religious element in the story too, that should, at least, provoke thought and that is something that appeals to my inner nerd. It has been my experience in life that everyone needs to embrace a concept that is bigger than oneself. For many years and in many places, people have embraced religion. Gays in general seem to have wholesale rejected this aspect, but it may not be necessarily so. This story does a good job of showing that without being preachy about it. This story hooked me right from the get go. Read a chapter or two and see if it does the same for you. To read more, check out the rest of the story here:
