Ten Good Things

Meet Colby, a struggling artist who works at his aunt’s bookstore. His favorite distraction is Josh—especially the way Josh’s T-shirt sleeves gird the curves of his biceps. But Josh tells Colby not to get any wrong ideas, so they’re just friends—at least that’s what Josh thinks. Josh has enough problems without getting involved in a serious relationship. For one thing, his parents don’t know he’s gay and want him to date the daughter of a business associate. Being handsome, rich, and popular in bed isn’t all it’s cut out to be. Now meet Crewe, an affluent accounting executive who lives with his wife in a big house overlooking the river. He’s middle aged but still dreams about Farley, the locker room hunk at college. What Crewe did to him was shameful. Is it too late to make amends? Would it mean admitting he’s not as straight as he thinks? Now imagine it’s 1977, and you’re at the disco, out on the dance floor, and the one you love slips his hands around your waist and buries them deep in the rear pockets of your jeans . . . Breezy and romantic, sexy but not graphic, Ten Good Things is a dialog-driven novella about trust, growth, forgiveness, breaking self-imposed limits, and reaching for the moon.
