Description

Joyful, wild, gay stories from award winning Martin Goodman.

Meet his cast of characters:

New York designer Arnold, whose lovely life blossoms from age 7. We watch him grow famous then learn from the bumps of life.

A young priest who leaves uptight England to lose and find himself in Turkey.

Queenie, scarred from her time as a beautiful boy, meets young Tom, who loves the fact that she’s a wreck.

A young Indian teacher meets an older London billionaire who’s not yet out.

And the stunning finale is a gay version of Melville’s classic Billy Budd, the tale of a beautiful doomed sailor.

“A ravishing collection, remarkably wide-ranging in subject, mood and tone, each story exquisitely crafted.”
– Paul Russell, author of Immaculate Blue
