The winter of 1987 AIDS was epidemic. Bryan Tyler had lost so many close friends, he was falling apart at the seams. Handsome, rich, intelligent, Bryan had accomplished more in his twenty-four years than he had ever dreamed. But he had no one to share his life with. Having remained celibate since he was sixteen, Bryan's fear had created a vacuum of loneliness in him he found draining to live with day in and day out. Until one afternoon while reading the Seattle Times weekend paper, Bryan noticed an ad for a youth in need of a foster home. Julian O'Connor had lived his entire life in an overcrowded state run facility in Everett, Washington. Nearly sixteen, Julian never imagined having a host family, let alone someone to love him. When he was emancipated, he assumed he'd live on the streets. Unloved, and feeling helpless, Julian had lost hope for any type of successful future. He lived one day at a time, and it was all he could do. Then two lost souls met. Bryan imagined raising Julian, giving Julian a strong home life and an education. In return, Bryan hoped Julian would fill his empty life with devotion. What they didn't expect was a love that grew to obsession and the forces that were trying to tear them apart. During a time in US history when the AIDS quilt continued to add names at a terrifying rate, life bloomed from the nightmare. And for Bryan, it was all about one person. Julian. In honor of writing my 50th book this year, each new novel of 2010 will feature an unpublished author's short story. Introducing Edward Kendrick's erotic tale; BETWEEN A STONE AND A HARD PLACE I hope you enjoy it.

1) The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner — One of the first books I ever checked out of the Hazel Park Memorial Library, my mother spoke highly of it as being one of her childhood faves. My cousins and sister and I would pretend we were Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny living on the run, and finding treasures at the local dump. 
2) Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White — My 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Steffen, read this book aloud to me and my class. During the scene where Fern and Henry are swinging on the rope in the barn, I literally fell on the floor with laughter. Even back then, I was a Drama Queer. Charlotte’s unconditional love and devotion for Wilbur has always stuck with me, and the last line of the book is perhaps the best of any: “It is not often someone comes along that's a true friend and good writer. Charlotte was both.” This is what I hope to be when it comes to my best friend who I’ve written about in both of my novels thus far. 
Drama Queers!

And with this one I completed the Faith, Love & Devotion trilogy. It’s a series that goes better book after book, but the most extraordinary thing is that already the first book was really good and so, escalating in quality meant that the third book is very high in that scale.
