Neil Overcash wants Broadway stardom. Stage manager Libby Papalekas wants Neil Overcash. Ramon wants to be a girl. Mickey and A.P. have no idea what they want, except each other. Welcome to Lower Manhattan, where it's 1975 with disco barely born, AIDS yet unknown, and violent crime rampant. These penniless young bohemians impress themselves by merely surviving the place. Danger can be an aphrodisiac. Until it's not.
M. A. Harper drew pictures all during her childhood and was pretty good at it, but none of them seemed complete without a caption. When she went to Tulane University to study art, her professors praised her technical ability but labeled her an "illustrator". Wrong. She was really a novelist. Her books have been named to the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers program as well as the BookSense '76 list, and she's the author of the online FAINT GLOW BLOG as well.
