Three Gay Coming of Age Shorts that Read as Individual Narratives or as One Story
The stories include:
Wacky Packages, a gay young adult story (1970s style)
How's he supposed to feel when his mom tells him it's wrong to think his best friend is so handsome?
It's the 1970s when summers should just be about trading Wacky Pack cards, playing baseball, and wondering what you're going to be when you grow up, and not about lusting after your best friend's older brother. Singing a bastardized version of ABBA’s latest hit into a hairbrush while standing in front of the mirror may get Robby just what he’s been asking, "Can I see your bum Fernando?"
Where Derek Van Lies, gay boys or not so gay boys?
At nineteen she is the biggest fan of the rising country singer in this sleepy affluent town.
Meet Susan, a developmentally-challenged teen living with her parents, bags groceries at Market Basket. Her life revolves around her idol, Derek Van, but when she tries to seduce him, Susan suspects something is wrong. Could he be a "homosapien"?
Livin’ on the Not Sure, a gay young adult story that grows into a hot gay romance m/m tale
Can the gay guy really get the hot, straight jock into bed?

Decades pass before they meet up again.Despite Jamie’s straight-married life having gone sour, is there still a spark between them? Is it too late for Jamie to change?
Not Sure Boys is a funny yet tender collection of interrelated shorts about coming to terms with love under some not-so-accepting circumstances. The conflicts and dilemmas that arise in these stories are something every reader will find familiar and relatable.
