Going in a New Direction with the Great Gay Author

   

Collecting information from google, wikipedia, glbtq and some personal observations I presented 100 posts of 50 male and 50
female gay writers in the hope that young people would become familiar
with these many awarded, including Pulitzers, writers who represent the
many sides of gay people and where we have come from, lived and where we
are now and where we are heading. I was also hoping readers of all
kinds would like to read some very interesting, varied genres of books.



There
are thousands of more gay writers and from time to time I will
spotlight some of them but after a brief break I am going to be writing
about major gay subjects that many nongay people (bloggers)
know very little about and those who think they know all about gay
people. It will sort of be a "Everything You Always wanted To Know About
Gay Sex But Were Afraid To Ask"--so if you want me to write about any
particular subject(s) just let me know at GreatMartin2003@yahoo.com



Before
I leave the Great Gay Author subject for awhile I want to tell you
about an Australian writer, plus a few more, that you might be
interested in pursuing.



Born in New Zealand, Rigby Taylor grew up in
Europe where he was an actor and creative dancer before
becoming a lecturer in Renaissance
Art
. His two gay themed novels, ‘The Price of Freedom’ in which he
explores gay relationships of youth, middle age and the elderly while coping
with undercurrents of homophobia, and ‘Dome of Death’ a thriller , are both set
on Queensland’s sub-tropical Sunshine Coast


His autobiography, ‘Dancing
Bare’, is a humorous look at his first twenty-five years as a young
exhibitionist in  Europe and the UK in the ‘swinging
sixties’. 

All three books are available
from Lulu publishers.

of Freedom:

Between you and AJ, I will never have to wonder what to read next."The Price of Freedom" has now just moved to the top of my list.If you had to pick a favourite gay author or two...who would you pick Martin?

I'm *really* looking forward the next set of posts. Maybe I'll even drum up a question.
