A 1970s and 1980s travelogue of a young man navigating coming out and searching for something beyond an opressive father and a stifling Kansas City. He finds it in New Orleans, San Francisco, New York. Excellent back from โ€œthat eraโ€.

The betrayal of Thomas True, historical, mystery thriller. Felt๏ฟผ a bit complicated at times but a very cool ride through London in the 1700s, and the awful price that Mollies, gay men, had to pay for being who they are.

Facing It by Paul Reed.
My 5-Star review on Amazon:
Beautifully written, historic, must read. LGBTQ people share a history like no other, and this novel speaks to the soul and heartbreak of our history.

This is a first edition, 1984, from my collection.

Very, very entertaining novel. Immersed in the golden age of Hollywood, and the lengths its stars went to to be stars. Lesbian, bi, gay central characters. Really good and fun and captivating.
