Nick Poff enjoyed a long career in the radio industry until technology took all the fun out of it. That same technology, however, enabled him to pursue another dream -- writing and publishing stories about everyday gay men in the "flyover states" of the US. A widower, Nick lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he currently has a day job in the transit industry to take care of the mortgage payments on a home in an historical early twentieth century neighborhood, and cover the Friskies expenses for his current feline companion, Jasper.

His first novel, THE HANDYMAN'S DREAM, became the beginning of a series of books about gay handyman Ed Stephens. In this book, Ed meets his dream man, Rick Benton, in the autumn of 1980, and Ed enjoys all the exci ...more

Hello Nick. I just finished The Handyman's History. I'll gladly write a good review. But I wonder if you'd like to see my list of minor errors? I'm a professional editor, so I always read with an editor's eye. I found about 20 minor errors--misplaced, missing, or transposed words; minor punctuation errors and so on? I read it on a Kindle, so it was easy for me to keep track of the things I found.

Nick Poff Hi Terry! First, thanks so much for the perceptive and positive review. I appreciate it. I love getting insight from the readers. As for the errors --…moreHi Terry! First, thanks so much for the perceptive and positive review. I appreciate it. I love getting insight from the readers. As for the errors --- sigh! I am embarrassed to admit that in my haste to get the book "live" I downloaded an uncorrected copy to Amazon. I didn't realize what I had done until I received a proof copy. I have since downloaded the corrected copy, but YES, I want to see your list! I want to make sure this isn't twenty more mistakes I missed. Thanks. I really appreciate your kindness and help. By the way, as per the last line of your review: You are welcome!(less)

Some Things Never Change In Porterfield — Josh The Gardener

Josh, squatting near the path, was inspecting some green shoots. “Ed, when did you plant these hyacinths and why did you plant them here?”

Ed shrugged. “I don’t know. Well, I don’t remember,” he added at Josh’s look of exasperation. “Someone gave me the bulbs and I stuck ‘em in the ground.”

“What’s done is done,” Josh said simply, making Ed feel as though he’d committed an unpardonable crime. “I’m g
