ePistols At Dawn; LGBT contemporary erotic romance
Length – Novel

Choose your weapons.
Jae-sun Fields is pissed. Someone has taken the seminal coming-out, coming-of-age novel Doorways and satirized it. He’s determined to use his Internet skills and his job as a tabloid reporter to out the author as the fraud and no-talent hack he’s sure she is.
Kelly Kendall likes his anonymity and, except for his houseboy, factotum and all-around slut, Will, he craves solitude. There’s also that crippling case of OCD that makes it virtually impossible for him to leave the house. He’s hidden his authorship of Doorways behind layers of secrets and several years’ worth of lies—until he loses a bet.
Satirizing his own work, as far as he can see, is his own damned prerogative. Except now he has an online stalker, one who always seems several steps ahead of him in their online duel for information.
A chance meeting reveals more than hidden identities—it exposes a mutual magnetic attraction that can’t be denied. And pushes the stakes that much higher, into a zone that could get way too personal…

I recently read this book (loved it!), and am wondering if “Doorways” is based on a particular gay coming-of-age novel of or if the entire concept is completely fabricated. Obviously, there are a lot of coming out stories, but most of my info predates the 1980′s and so is probably not pertinent. I really enjoyed this book, as I do all of your stories. However, Kelly struck a particular chord with me and I wondered what the inspiration was. Thanks for your time. Keep writing. You are the best gay romance author I’ve read.

Hi Saruby! No, Doorways isn’t based on any one particular novel, although at the time I’d just read a stunning coming of age tale called, “Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada” (http://www.amazon.com/Cody-Keith-Hale/dp/1555836011) by an author named Keith Hale, and I just found it so moving. The author hasn’t been tremendously prolific, and of course I was also thinking of J.D. Salinger and “Catcher in the Rye”, another seminal novel, and the thing was, the title “Doorways” lent itself so well to a parody in “Windows” that I thought I’d just use that. Another author friend of mine was telling me that she wants to write “Body As Temple”, so I may have actually inspired a coming of age story with this book.
Thanks so much for kind words!
