Parallel Lives

by Rob Browatzke

Michael needed to find himself, like so many young gay boys do. Along the way, he found David and Cory and Troy and Kevin and Matt and Jonny and Adam, and a lot of sex and drama. But where he really found himself was behind the bar at the local gay bar, where the people he met helped make him the man he became.The story follows Michael in the past and present, and the way his life now parallels his life then shows that you don't always learn the lessons you need to learn the first time around. Sometimes, you have to go through it again (and again) before you clue in to the fact that things aren't working out the way you want.

About the author

Rob Browatzke has been writing for as long as he can remember, and is pretty darn excited for someone else to be reading his stuff finally! When it comes to gay bars and booze and drugs and drama, he knows what he's talking about. He came out in the mid-90s, and liquor and drama went hand in hand. He has 15+ years of experience working in gay clubs in Edmonton, Alberta, and his current Wonderlounge is every bit as amazing as Alex's Wonderland. Rob is now 3+ years clean and sober, although there's still a bit of drama once in a while, for old times' sake.

Rob loves the growing market for gay fiction and m/m romance. There are some incredible authors out there, and it's important to be able to see in print (or on the screen) stories about people just like us. Coming out, our relationships, the issues we face, we all have stories to tell. And this book is just one of the stories coming out of Wonderland.
