Live on the Air is about two lost souls finding each other through unlikely circumstances. It's short story length but is a full story, with romance, love scenes, and humor.

It's the late 1980s, and Mike Pattison has spent his life in the closet. As a young doctor working at a small emergency room, he's resigned himself to staying there. But a voice on late-night radio keeps grabbing his attention. Will DJ "Sam Spade" be the one to convince Mike put his fears aside and live?

This is one of the songs I kept thinking of when I was writing "Live on the Air." It's one of Mike's favorites:

I was finishing up Live on the Air when I found this at my local library and picked it up pretty much on a whim. I'm so glad I did.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home is a literary novel that could be sold as Young Adult if someone at a publishing house didn't decide 'literary' would likely make them more money. (For the record, that's because it's a 'coming of age' book, reads beautifully, and isn't explicitly 'adult,' not a knock on the book.)

June is fourteen and would rather live in a world of her imagination, or maybe the Middle Ages, than the boring neighborhood she's stuck in, with two accountant parents and an older sister who seems more like a stranger every year. When her beloved uncle Finn dies of AIDS, she ends up connecting with the only person who misses Finn as much as she does; his boyfriend, Toby, who starts as a mysterious stranger but who quickly becomes a vital part of June's life.

The book is set in 1987, and I found myself remembering the raw nastiness of the late 80s. I was too young and in too isolated a part of the world for the worst of it to reach me, but I still remember the fear and bigotry and sheer stupid cruelty of it, and this book doesn't gloss it over. For all that - and for all the sorrow - Tell the Wolves I'm Home is tremendously alive, and it glows with the power of love, the strength that people have to keep loving, no matter what might come next.

You'll cry, but you'll feel good about it.

My book - really a short story, but an ebook nonetheless - is going through its final formatting. It should be for sale soon!

Enjoy some Cyndi Lauper while you wait.

Because you have all this YouTube evidence that that era really happened. And people really wore those clothes....



It's kind of hilarious that the sweaters seem weirder than the dance hall clothes to me now.

EDIT: This one's even better:



Amazon has lots of Wang Chung:
