The Backlot Gay Book Forum discussion

I have a new book just released from Harmony Ink called Children of the Knight. While it is not specifically an m/m YA romance, it contains two very strong gay characters and a third struggling with his orientation. This book and its impending sequels raise a lot of issues regarding how this society marginalizes so many kids, gay kids chief among them, and it should appeal to anyone, gay or straight, who believes, as I do, that we need to get our act together in this country and nurture kids rather than throw them away because they don't fit some idiotic, preconceived mold of perfection. The book has already gotten a couple of five-star reviews on Amazon. Here's a description in case you might want to check it out:

According to legend, King Arthur is supposed to return when Britain needs him most. So why does a man claiming to be the once and future king suddenly appear in Los Angeles?

This charismatic young Arthur creates a new Camelot within the City of Angels to lead a crusade of unwanted kids against an adult society that discards and ignores them. Under his banner of equality, every needy child is welcome, regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, or gang affiliation.

With the help of his amazing First Knight, homeless fourteen-year-old Lance, Arthur transforms this ragtag band of rejected children and teens into a well-trained army—the Children of the Knight. Through his intervention, they win the hearts and minds of the populace at large, and gain a truer understanding of themselves and their worth to society. But seeking more rights for kids pits Arthur and the children squarely against the rich, the influential, and the self-satisfied politicians who want nothing more than to maintain the status quo.

Can right truly overcome might? Arthur’s hopeful young knights are about to find out, and the City of Angels will never be the same.
