Hello
Thank you for your kind words. I would recommend Now The Day is Over as it does have a slight gay theme. Yes, I have just sent the 4th instalment of The Boy I Love series to my publisher. I hope you are well in these strange times

Hello
I’m so pleased you enjoyed The Boy I love. Yes, Paul and Patrick are together for the rest of their lives. If you would like to read the 3rd instalment, Paper Moon, there is more on their relationship. Also, there is the final part of the quartet coming out late next year.
Thank you once again from a very sunny, warm north east of England
Best wishes

Free Book

My latest novel, Lost Boys, is free on kindle from tomorrow, 19th October until 23rd October.

Lost Boys is part of The Boy I Love series and although it can be read as a ‘standalone’ it features many of the characters from that series. It is set partly in the present day and partly in 1971 and begins when a young man’s long buried body is found in the garden of a house where an old man has been fo Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Marion Husband  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I’ve been absent from you too long. I miss you so badly and yet this being apart makes me realise you’re not simply the faithful man who loves me so astonishingly well, but an angel, sent for some unfathomable reason to look out for me. I should have realised this truth years ago because you are so extraordinary, so unlike other men, so unlike me, this weak, vain, faithless creature you have been so intent on saving from himself. I should have realised from the first moment I saw you in that trench, when I fell so badly in love with you and hoped you wouldn’t notice. Or perhaps not then, but later, when you saved my life so often just by lending me courage when I was half-mad from fear. How much courage you had to spare – I will never forget. But angels are courageous, aren’t they? I should know. I have never understood why I deserved such grace.

I don’t have your faith, Patrick, or your love of God. I am uncertain and afraid, I wish you were with me now, not just in spirit, as I know you are and always have been, but here in body. I need to cower behind you, because if God is real He might be kinder knowing you loved me.

If angels need to pray, pray for me.”
Marion Husband
