A collection of poems, prose and stories with decidedly gay overtones and a nostalgic bent. Boys growing up in the United States during the 1950's and 1960's had little, if any, information about being "different." There was literally no one to turn to for advice or encouragement. If anything, the dictates of the culture and societal pressures made them feel insecure and outcast. In this first-published collection, Sacramento-based writer Rodion Rebenyar has compiled a variety of poems (written specifically for and with those who don't normally like to read poetry in mind ), prose and stories...

Whimsical poems, prose and short stories about the domestic and international travel adventures of a gay man over two decades. Not just a travel guide, not a memoir, and certainly no competition for Fodor, Baedecker or Lonely Planet, this book is more like a time capsule of what was, and what is not likely to return very soon again. Chock full of illustrations, the author's photos and drawings in historically accurate black and white on practically every page. Sit back, relax and unwind....you're going on a journey with a fellow traveller

This is the first book in the LUCHO TRILOGY. Gay men from two cultures come together in this novel of intrigue, adventure and changing times. A mild-mannered, not very streetwise collegiate bumpkin from an imaginary Midwest town gets the rare opportunity to teach English in an equally mythical Latin American country which has just recovered from a military coup. Thrown together with a gorgeous, sophisticated young boy who acts as his teaching assistant, tension is high and attitudes are dicey as the two vie with one another. Ultimately they become friendly through a series of events which...

Told in the first person and with an intensity as if the events are happening at the moment, Sacramento-based author RODION REBENYAR has created a story built around a tragedy which, by rights, should never have happened. The subject of the book was prompted by the ignorance, not only in the LGBTQ community but the public at large, of widespread injustice which occurred at the end of World War II and the revelations about the extent of Europe's ghastly Holocaust. Many German citizens were tried and sentenced to terms in prison or concentration camps due to the strengthening of Paragraph 175...

In Book One, FIGHTING FOR LUCHO: A Gay Man's Struggle Begins, our country bumpkin narrator makes good on his first teaching assignment in San Gonzalo, a Latin American country which has just been taken over by a military government. Amid the complexities of a foreign land with different cultural values, he is assigned a teaching assistant with whom he does not get along at all. As time goes on, however, the two grow unusually close and find that they possess an uncommon love for one another. They both realize the danger of this type of relationship in a country where so many things are being...
