Queers

“I don’t think there is an emotion known to man that I didn’t experience while reading this book.”— Marleen Kennedy

Within her walls are stories. Love. Laughter. Tears. Lives lived, and sometimes cut short before really getting started. She’s seen it all—homelessness, super-stardom, boys dressed as girls, and girls dressed as lamps…. Boy, does she have secrets to tell. Her one truth? Everyone crossing her threshold is accepted with open arms and a song.

Her name is Queers, and for one of L.A.’s few dueling piano bars, she has heart.

On her stage, Duff McKinley’s beautiful voice rings so true, he captures the shattered heart of his boss, Brad Mosely, who checked out of life 3 years ago. Moonshine, Brad’s business partner and bff, is thrilled, but watchful, even as someone snags her attention.

Accompanying Duff to L.A., Garrett Slater is chasing his own wish: finding The One, his white knight. He believes Landon Kennedy fits the bill. Suave and handsome, the music industry mogul shows Garrett a life he's only seen in movies. But even as Landon signs Duff to his dream career, he traps Garrett in a nightmare—one from which Garrett's roommate, Jackson Moriarty, is determined to rescue him. If Garrett repays Jackson by seeing his own charms, so much the better.

Yes, Queers' walls hold a long history. Unrequited love, sinister intentions, fame, fortune, and a group of friends and lovers who will do anything for each other, no matter the cost.
