Genre(s):  GLBT, Science Fiction

In an America world where homosexuality is punishable by death, Jason Braverman lives a life of quiet desperation. Hiding his true nature, he grapples with the loss of his sexual freedom as he watches his beloved city patrolled by uniformed thugs and bombed to the ground by the U.S. Army. Until he meets Daniel, and he realizes sometimes liberation is worth paying the ultimate price. (M/M) 

This edgy, fantastical work is coming soon from Forbidden Fiction.  The manuscript has had a troubled past.  Although it has wowed some editors, the subject matter (dark, alternative politics) has been a little too heavy for most of the anthologies for which it has been considered.  D.M. Atkins at Forbidden Fiction, who has been very encouraging of my work and just a pleasure to work with, decided to publish it.

More news about this project soon.
