In “Visible Lives,” readers are introduced to three novellas House of John, The Intern and Is it Still Jood to Ya. In House of John, Jesse Templeton is a thirty-eight year old freelance photographer still reeling from a recent breakup with his live-in boyfriend Sean. He thinks he’s done with love -that is until finds he starts falling for a gorgeous local at an annual sex retreat in Santo Domingo. In The Intern, workaholic television executive Chase Kennedy finds himself drawn to the office’s new intern, sexy college student and basketball star Quincy Thornberry. Things couldn’t be going better until Chase learns that Quincy’s father may be the man he lost both his virginity and his heart to years prior. Lastly in Is It Still Jood to Ya?, actor Raheim Rivers is anxious to be reunited with his lover Mitchell Crawford after being away a long time. Uncertain about the future of their relationship, Raheim and Mitchell are forced to confront their issues and each other when a summer blackout strands them together in New York.

In Memoriam – E. Lynn Harris
Sad news on the literary/entertainment front. Popular Author E. Lynn Harris has died while on a West Coast tour of his latest book “Basketball Jones”. He was 54.
I have all his books. I loved his writing style and him addressing LGBT issues in his book in a manner that was not derogatory! I remember sneeking to get his first book “Invisible Life” from a Black Expo in the 90’s. LOL
“Invisible Life”, “Just As I Am”, and “Basketball Jones” are my 3 favorite books from him.
Wow. Totally sudden and unexpected.
Rest in Peace E. Lynn Harris
