Book Description

In BEYOND THE PALE, Nigel Swain, a gay Unitarian minister, is found dead in black pigskin, crushed by a garbage truck. His Boston friends: Clarissa, Mirabelle, Naomi, Roger, Penelope, and Bruno are determined to find the culprit. Their efforts are complicated when Neville, Nigel’s identical twin, arrives from Africa followed soon by his wife Dahlia, who has fled from a harem on the Persian Gulf.

The interlocking plots thicken, congeal, and finally liquefy in a dance club called the Ides. Here persons of uncertain gender mix and match togas to centurions. In a mad and topsy-turvy world, BEYOND THE PALE gives chaos a reputable name. In THE POWERS THAT BE, Simeon and Ann are gifted with clairvoyance and genius IQs. Eager to fall in love with an equal, they meet through a Personals ad and find themselves perfectly matched. But the diabolic Benito Fosco is intent on seducing them in his Sutton Place apartment planted like the Garden of Eden with shrubs, an apple tree, and cascading water. Later, to secure their allegiance, Benito offers Simeon and Ann all the kingdoms of New York. The genesis of this farce is the vulnerability of our latter-day Adam and Eve who are lured into easy submission. Enter Mick Deangelis, angelic hunk and protector, whose hand-to-hand combat with Benito is not unlike the grappling of the sacred with the profane, and the abyss where the warfare is waged.
