Queerfiction giveaway from Queercents
From time to time, Kensington Books provides us with free titles from its Gay and Lesbian section to give away to our readers and contributors. Each book is a gay-themed work of fiction and has absolutely nothing to do with personal finance. But today I have two copies of Drama Queers to giveaway for free’¦ and there’s nothing wrong with free (just ask any TARP recipient!).
Besides, you have the entire recession to read the latest nonfiction money books’¦ many of which we review here at Queercents. But for now, take a breather and escape with Drama Queers by telling me why even bandos and thespians need a break from all the financial talk!
Here’s more about the book: Drama Queers by Frank Anthony Polito
Ever since Mrs. Malloy assigned us the What I Want To Be When I Grow Up paper earlier that year in her 1st hour English, my mind had been made up’¦ I, Bradley James Dayton, will be a famous actor someday!
Meet Bradley Dayton’”a wickedly funny high school senior whose woefully uncool life always seems to be full of drama, even in the sorry little suburb of Hazel Park, Michigan. It’s 1987, the era of big hair, designer jeans, and Dirty Dancing. George Michael has ‘œFaith’ and Michael Jackson still has a nose. Brad, on the other hand, has a thing for acting, and while his friends are trying to get laid, Brad’s trying to land the lead in Okla-homo! and practicing the Jane Seymour monologue from Somewhere in Time.
Sure, he’d like to get laid too, but while Brad has known he was gay forever, the rest of ‘œHillbilly High’ is not so forthcoming. Brad’s already lost one best friend, Jack, who dropped out of marching band to step into the closet. But lately, things are looking up. Continue reading at Kensington Books.

Sounds like a great book. I love a little comedy in a novel!
That sounds hilarious! I could definitely use some light reading.
I am a youth services librarian in Northern CA and I read so many kids books, I would love to get a “grown-up” book for a change!
BiblioFemme: I have a copy for you!
Josh and Rachel: It’s a toss up, so I’ll go with Josh since he commented first. I have a copy for him.
Email me your mailing addresses and I’ll send them. By the way, I just noticed that the author signed them too.

“even in the sorry little suburb of Hazel Park, Michigan”
I grew up one suburb north of Hazel Park and our family used to go to this fish-n-chips place with the most amazing coleslaw! Now I have to look for this book.
