New for fall 2025
After hanging around with Pierre and Bill, I've decided to move on. New story. New characters. New genre. Same preoccupations: the ties that bind. Catching Hanif's Eye: a mystery, a romance, an ocular adventure. Coming fall 2025.

"This book was beautiful. I learned so much about queer history through this story, and it was a solid balance of absolute devastation and hope. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit Berlin and see the institute in the future🫶"

“Bill rolled his eyes. “The MM book with the guys on steroids on the cover, okay? I saw it.” The picture was imprinted in Bill’s memory. How two such bulky individuals could possibly contort their bodies so wildly boggled the mind. They didn’t even look like they could bend over, although he assumed they could.”

“Two caregivers accidentally meet and decide to trade their charges. It was like something from a Hitchcock movie.”

“Pierre was an excellent liar, although the word was much too sweeping to describe his occasional reticence to divulge. Rather than lie outright, he’d fabulate. He’d tell a story or change the subject or say something funny. Like a magician, he’d distract. For years, Bill had watched him nimbly extricate himself from someone else’s demands. It was very entertaining except when the other person was him.”

“He was thinking back to his own encounter with his biological family. His father was barely in the ground when some strangers had shown up thinking they could just take his boy. As if they owned him. As if he’d been out on loan. They kept touching him, fondling him, patting him as if he was a trophy they’d come to claim.”

“He’d played all his cards. He’d said all his words. What was he supposed to do now? State his intentions? Make a declaration? Ask him out on a date? He had no idea what anyone would say in this situation. They’d connected. They’d disconnected. Were they connecting again? So, he was unprepared when Anton leaned over and kissed him. Contact was light and quick but when he pulled away he didn’t go far.”

“They weren’t wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. Each had a life before they’d met with everything that living entailed. Experience is precious but it comes with a price.”

“By the end, Arthur Less is in tears, sobbing in his seat, and he thinks he has been sobbing quietly until the lights come up and the woman seated beside him turns and says, “Honey, I don’t know what happened in your life, but I am so so sorry,” and gives him a lilac-scented embrace. Nothing happened to me, he wants to say to her. Nothing happened to me. I’m just a homosexual at a Broadway show.”
