Sexy, Startling, Revelatory & True---J.G. Hayes is the Real Deal!

J.G. Hayes is one of the best, if not the best, young gay American fiction writers. I was totally knocked out by his first book, This Thing Called Courage---each story was sexier and more revelatory than the one preceeding it. Hayes has his hand on the pulse of the young, confused, uneducated American teenager. It is at that age that sexual confusion is most harrowing. Hayes knows this and writes about it from the heart.

Every story in this collection is as good as those in This Thing Called Courage. You're Always Happy When You're Rich is the stunner here for me. I turned each page of this story with breathless eagerness.

I'm in awe of the talent of this writer. You will be too. Buy this book now!
