TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

A novel about a young woman navigating life and love in 1970s New York City. Her lonely plight leads to bad decisions, dark places and the people who dwell there. It’s an unusual assortment of characters, dreamers and schemers, from every class and sexual persuasion, there’s Jarrod Reyes a male escort, he wasn’t homosexual, he wasn’t heterosexual, he was sexual; Reeva Fuller, the Queen of the Pig People, if she was going to be down in the dumps she wasn’t going to be down there alone; John Ramsey, a dreamer or maybe just dreamy; Tony, damaged goods, who had never come to grips with his broken life; Helaine cock sure, who wore her heart on her sleeve and Bill Rhodes, he had confused sex with being in love. The language can at times be raw, the 1970s weren’t always politically correct, there’s tragedy, but the door is always left open to humor.
