Advocate Days and Other Stories (Queermojo) by Mark Thompson

A Perfect Scar and Other Stories (Queermojo) by Trebor Healey

Wisdom for the Aging (Ken Arnold Books) by Malcolm Boyd

Three generations of gay authors will present their recent books in an event that takes its name from a pre-code Warner Bros. movie about three women surviving together in the Depression.  It was a favorite movie of Vito Russo, author of the classic The Celluloid Closet.

Mark Thompson started working for The Advocate in 1975, reporting on the burgeoning gay liberation movement, and ended his tenure at the national newsmagazine almost 20 years later as its Senior Editor. In addition, he has authored seven books on gay history and culture, including the internationally acclaimed trilogy, Gay Spirit, Gay Soul, and Gay Body.

In addition to A Perfect Scar and Other Stories, Trebor Healey is the author of Through It Came Bright Colors, a novel; and Sweet Son of Pan, a poetry collection. His short fiction and poetry were nominated for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. A new short story collection, Eros and Dust, is forthcoming from Rebel Satori Press in 2010.

Malcolm Boyd is the author of 32 books including the international bestseller Are You Running with Me, Jesus?, the gay classic Take Off the Masks, and his new book Wisdom for the Aging: Practical Advice for Living the Best Years of Your Life Right Now. He served three terms as president of PEN Center USA West.

Sublime short stories bound together by folly, fate, and passion. A Perfect Scar and Other Stories is a whimsical, sly, and slightly crazy collection of short stories from award-winning novelist, poet, and songwriter Trebor Healey. These 12 tales cover a lot of ground, including AIDS, aging, death, eroticism, tattoos, and multiculturalism--all told with humor, insight, and Healey's rich, lyrical touch. This sometimes poignant, sometimes erotic assortment of fauns, punks, cowboy dykes, old men with swollen prostates, young men with criminal records, and gangsters doomed by their own beauty and grace are bound together by folly, fate, and passion in their search to find some semblance of peace in the world.
