Charmed Lives: Gay Spirit in Storytelling

by Toby Johnson (Editor/Contributor), Sterling Houston, Bill Blackburn

Storytelling can be a way of spinning straw into gold, of showing ourselves we have drawn a long straw in this life. A finalist for Best GLBT Anthology for the Lambda Literary Awards, Charmed Lives offers readers a collection of over thirty short works of fiction and personal essays as an alternative to the stories that society often tells about gay men. Some are whimsical with a touch of enchantment, some profoundly spiritual, others romantic--all offer insight into modern gay life that will inspire and shed light on the grace of being gay with tales of hope against adversity and love over loneliness.

A hugely interesting collection of stories that move the reader in so many ways. All with a deep underpinning of love.
