Eddie would have liked it better if her youngest son, Donny, had not been gay. At least he could have kept it a secret So when Donny openly comes out at the only bar in town, her bar, Eddie goes on a rampage, making life miserable for everyone, turning the small resort village of Beech Grove and its annual Arts Festival upside down. That she is part-owner of the bar would have caused enough problems between mother and son, but her attempts to make Donny into a respectable gay young man-one who is courted properly and comes home from dates at a decent hour-only make things worse. FETE is a...

Tad wanders the cobble-stoned streets of Barcelona, confusing reality, fantasies, mind games and memories...until he meets Gunter-easily the most gorgeous Viking ever to set foot on Spanish soil. Their bizarre adventure is filled with camels, bicycles in the Moroccan desert, a hairy alchemist and sex on the edge of a cliff. Add to this a zany little redhead named Stacey and her crazy Gang, and you have some idea what it means to sing "The Baggy-Kneed Camel Blues "

There were ten thousand of them (a Myriad) gathered out in the desert. They were waiting for the return of Jasper Kell (A Vigil). They had somehow gotten the ideas that: Jasper Kell was born of the desert to a gay man; that he possessed a sense of Auravision; that he had cured his own blindness; and that he had brought a dead man back to life. Moreover, they thought he had become an eagle, and that he was going to fly down from the mountaintop to become their savior. Wherever did they get such ideas? Whoever would tell such stories? Joe Dixon. It all started back in 1957, on that selfsame...

"The Vanilla Kid was the only name any of us knew for him; and, at that time, the only name Kid knew for himself. He was one of the street people: those who had disappeared from another life and would disappear from this one, too." -So begins the story. Who he was before, and who he was after-and how he sorted it (them ) all out-is a witty and bizarre tale built on mind games pitting Identity versus Deception. The Vanilla Kid is a labyrinth of wry twists and turns, a series of illusions which will challenge the reader to new insights- all leading toward that enigma called Self. But even these...

Now with new graphics and Kiddie Verse. Once upon a time, there was a far-away Kingdom that was in terrible trouble because it hadn't rained in years. In those days, everybody thought that rain was caused by the sneezes of a Dragon. They said that lightning came out of the Dragon's nose and that thunder was the sound of him sneezing. And that that would break open the clouds and let the rain out. All the Knights tried to get the Dragon to sneeze, but all the Knights failed. The King and Queen's three children (Danielle 8, Brett 5 and Erica 1) decided to try for themselves, and they started...

"BEE FARTS & OTHER STORIES" offers a high school boy's answer to the academic question. "PIGFACE'S LAMENT" suggests that a dog, Stanley in particular, is capable of committing suicide. "DR. TIMMY" faints in the classroom. And his students do everything they can to make it happen again and again. "LIFE IN THE ENERGY ZONE" is about a young man in crisis, Winston, who thinks he can see the future in the reflections around him. "WILLY & BENJAMIN" is about the Magic of Age Seven and the loss of innocence thereafter. THE VERSE is....well, it's just odd.
