Publisher's Summary:

I walk in darkness, but there is light in the darkness - a light only I can see.

Caden helped Jonas through the rough times, the lonely times, and the times Jonas needed someone to love and someone to love him back. The only problem was that Caden was imaginary - at least until Jonas spotted him in the cafeteria of Verona High School.

When Jonas recovers from his shock, he is determined to meet the boy who was once nothing but a fantasy but is obviously quite real. Soon Jonas learns something about Caden, something disturbing, something that changes everything. Does Jonas have the courage to reach out and brave the unknown, or will he risk losing what might be his only chance at happiness?

Light in the Darkness is a story of longing, fear, acceptance, and love.

Gay Youth Chronicles continues.

I've always loved the Gay Youth Chronicles by Mark A. Roeder. As with all of his books I've laughed, cried, gotten pissed off, rolled my eyes, and felt heartbreak. Good story line as always dealing with the daily struggles of Gay Youth/Coming of age. Having said that, I've always felt that a narrator can make or break a book. With this book I felt like I was listening to an old Radio broadcast of Dragnet. The narrator sometimes making teen boys sound like a much older man with a smoking problem.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Eine total verrückte Lovestory aus Liverpool.

Ich hätte wissen müssen, dass ein Musikcasting, bei dem es die Goldene Bratwurst zu gewinnen gibt, in die Hose geht. Mir hätte klar sein müssen, dass man die Bandauswahl nicht einer rappenden Fleischereifachverkäuferin überlassen sollte. Und ich hätte auch ahnen können, dass die skurrilen Fetischfotos, zu denen ich mich hatte überreden lassen, nach hinten losgehen.

Aber was wäre das Leben, ohne dass man etwas wagt? Hätte ich diesen verrückten Wettbewerb nicht auf die Beine gestellt, hätte ich auch Cord, den sexy Hafenarbeiter, niemals kennen und lieben gelernt. Und wir hätten auch nie Aber das glaubt mir sowieso niemand, ohne dass er es gelesen hat.

In den Hauptrollen:

Jamie: Ein Schnuckel zum Verlieben

Cord: Hafenarbeiter und ein verdammt sexy Typ

In den Nebenrollen:

Doris: rappende Fleischereifachverkäuferin mit Goldkette und groooßem Herz

Antoine Gaultier: Glamour, wir brauchen Glamour!

Marvin: Ein Muskelprotz, den man nicht von der Bettkante stoßen würde

Betty: Fetischfrau und ziemlich beste Freundin

... und außerdem:

Eine goldene Bratwurst

Schafe von den Färöer Inseln

Grinsende WC-Enten und andere schräge Vögel

Ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen Freaks und Loser.

Eine Idee, die so verrückt ist, dass niemand an sie glaubt.

Und eine Liebe, von der keiner etwas wissen soll

Höchste Zeit, das Leben auf den Kopf zu stellen!

Title: Briefs

Author: Alan Semrow

Narrator: Jay Lindenwood

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-17

Publisher: Lethe Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian

Publisher's Summary:

The lives of Semrow's characters in this debut collection are like the charged particles in the atmosphere before the storm; these stories, while brief, are torrid and turbulent, as relationships crash apart, people find themselves damp with more than tears, and the silver linings of the storm clouds remain tantalizing, out of reach.

Members Reviews:

Humorous, Thoughtful, Fun

Hereâs a perfect book for someone whoâs short on time for reading but craving a quick creative escape. Alan Semrowâs Briefs is a collection of over 50 short stories, truly brief stories as most are only 2-3 pages in length. They are perfect for that short, crowded commute on the train or someone looking to grab a few moments to themselves during the holiday rush. In story after story Semrow offers a little slice of life with characters who are noble and flawed, relatable and incomprehensible. Whether we are in the therapist office with a teen-age boy who may or may not be suicidal or listening in on the pre-nuptial conversation of two men or witness to the despairing patience and hope of a man coping with his wifeâs mental illness, each story is a substantial morsel of life whether poignant or humorous. Even the stories that bring into relief lifeâs mundane and downright boring days are never themselves boring. I appreciate that Semrow never trifles with the emotions of his character or the reader. There is economy and balance in the writing that is just perfect for a collection such as this.

Semrow has a gift for showing us whatâs humane in humanity and he does so through the eyes of those from many life experiences, different cultural backgrounds, ages, genders, and orientations. Iâm looking forward to reading more from the fertile pen of Alan Semrow.

I enjoyed it.

Well-written, I enjoyed it.

An Important Contribution to LGBTQIA Literary History

This was fascinating on many levels. I wasn't familiar with the original story by Bayard Taylor, but I'm intrigued and plan to read it, if I can find it. This adaptation (or re-telling) is written with a masterful command of storytelling and language. Each scene is word painted vividly, The characters are memorable and complex.

Title: The Night Brother

Author: Rosie Garland

Narrator: Georgia Maguire, Gareth Bennett-Ryan, Emma Gregory

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-17

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian

Publisher's Summary:

From the author of The Palace of Curiosities and Vixen comes a bold new novel exploring questions of identity, sexual equality and how well we really know ourselves. Perfect for fans of Angela Carter, Sarah Waters and Erin Morgenstern.

Rich are the delights of late 19th-century Manchester for young siblings Edie and Gnome. They bicker, banter, shout and scream their way through the city's streets, embracing its charms and dangers. But as the pair grow up, it is Gnome who revels in the nighttime while Edie wakes exhausted each morning, unable to quell a sickening sense of unease, with only a dim memory of the dark hours.

Confused and frustrated at living a half life, she decides to take control, distancing herself from Gnome once and for all. But can she ever be free from someone who knows her better than she knows herself?

A dazzling and provocative novel of adventure and belonging, The Night Brother lures us to the furthermost boundaries of sexual and gender identity. With echoes of Orlando and Jekyll & Hyde, this is a story about the vital importance of being honest with yourself. Every part of yourself. After all, no one likes to be kept in the dark.

Critic Reviews:

Praise for The Night Brother:

"Rosie Garland writes in a tumble of poetry, desire and passion, as intriguing and delicious as the story she tells." (Stella Duffy)

Praise for The Palace of Curiosities:

"Garland's lush prose is always a pleasure." (The Guardian)

"A jewel-box of a novel...Garland is a real literary talent: definitely an author to watch." (Sarah Waters)

"An alternately brutal and beautiful story about love and belonging in a vividly conveyed underworld, rich in carny phantasmagoria and lyrical romance.' (Metro)

"Bewitching." (Good Housekeeping)

"Reminds me of Angela Carter." (Jenni Murray)

Members Reviews:

Interesting ideas, perhaps too confined by the magic realism choice

Although this book certainly had an interesting idea behind it â the exploration of gender identity, sibling rivalry told via a soupcon of magic realism, a kind of alternative Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde all tacked on to a Manchester, early twentieth century rise of the suffragist movement â it did not really add up to more than the sum of its parts, for me. In fact, There is a nice vitality in Garlandâs writing, and I can see why there have been comparisons made to Angela Carter and Sarah Waters â particularly Waters in her Victorian setting books. Unfortunately, for this reader the difference is that Carter and Waters consistently expanded and developed surprise and imagination in their books, but I found, initial twist and structure over, there were no surprises, and I knew exactly where the book was going. Which isnât necessarily a problem â as long as the reader can find themselves under the skin of the characters so that you invest in their journeys. Not the case here, for me.

I was offered this as a review copy, via NetGalley, and was drawn to it by publisher comparisons between authors I had loved â Erin Morgenstern, as well as Carter and Waters.

The still outstanding book I read, years ago, on gender identity, remains Rose Tremainâs Sacred Country. No magic realism, just real realism, absolutely taking the reader into the heart of her central characterâs journey.

Members Reviews:

Emotional and Moving

Mr. Hirschi always writes emotional, moving books that have a core of realism to them that somehow makes everything more intense. I have yet to read a book by him that I did not enjoy. He regularly reduces me to tears--both happy and painful.

This book is trademark Hirschi. The performance of this book was stellar and made me feel as if I was there, dealing with troublesome family and grief as if I were Sascha. Well worth the listen. Beautiful.

A compelling story of Family, Love and Secrets

I read Family Ties awhile ago and looked forward to listening to it. I love the way Hans M Hirschi sets the story over the two days but gives so much of the Characters history through the thoughts, feelings and the differing points of view each character has. Brothers Sascha and Mike's mother died and during the difficult time around the funeral secrets and fears come to the surface and are dealt with strengthening not only the brothers relationship but the relationship each brother has with their partner. Although there are a lot Of hard issues issues covered, infidelity, rape, poor parenting, bullying, Alzheimer's. there are also a lot of positive the joy of being new parents and positive parenting, building on relationships and deeper understanding and acceptance in the family.

Each short chapter is quite involved and whilst reading I give my full attention it is not always the case with audio. I found this is definitely a book to listen to when there are minimal distractions to be able fully enjoy it. And I will certainly be listening to it again probably many times.

It's the first time I listened to Michael Bakkensen and I really enjoyed his narration.

Title: His Steadfast Love and Other Stories

Author: Paul Brownsey

Narrator: Jim Cassidy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-13-17

Publisher: Lethe Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Gay & Lesbian

Publisher's Summary:

In the world of Paul Brownsey, God is a camp old queen trying to split up a gay couple. Judy Garland did not die in 1969 and instead ended up wowing her fellow residents in a Scottish care home on karaoke night. A fan of musical theatre steals an Irving Berlin lyric as a Valentine's poem and spends decades contriving to hide the theft from his lover. After a one-night stand, two men maintain a distant awareness of each other's lives for a quarter of a century and then face the question: are we in love? A couple find that over the 12 days of Christmas they experience everything that could possibly happen in a love affair, at least as recorded in popular songs from "Some Enchanted Evening" to "For the Good Times". A gay couple discover Queen Elizabeth II injured on a hillside near her Balmoral castle and are torn between star-struck fawning and lecturing her on gay rights.

Often playful, Scottish author Paul Brownsey's stories in His Steadfast Love and Other Stories cast an imaginative eye on gay life - but, make no mistake, they deal with the life most gay men will recognize, in which meeting lovers and sustaining relationships go alongside the uneasy terrain of acceptance, both internal and external. And as a former philosophy professor at Glasgow University, Brownsey knows how our everyday lives embody the big questions, but he shows this with a light touch and dark humor.

These sixteen short stories work together as a terrific whole, providing a surrealistic mood with vague backgrounds and strange motivations. Its humor, however, is focused, and the interactions between the characters in all the stories have precision and depth. They do not, however, all sound the same. Neither do they sound like the author. Wonderful stories, then, if a bit otherworldlyâbut whatâs wrong with that?
