One of the most telling novels about gay life after Stonewall, Late in the Season is one of the finest novels in the long career of one of the founding members of the Violet Quill Club. Set on Fire Island in late September, this is the story of an unlikely pair of friends - a gay composer in his late thirties and an eighteen-year-old schoolgirl - both of whom are trying to make sense of their complicated lives. But, much more than this, it is a compelling portrait of a magical time and place, after the Stonewall riots opened up so many possibilities and before AIDS forever changed the face of the gay world.

From the Edgar Award-Winning author of Justice at Risk For ex-reporter Benjamin Justice life has hit rock bottom -- HIV positive, no job, no hope, no future. Then a young woman comes to his door with a handsome job offer -- to ghostwrite a payback book. Someone has written a bio attacking her father, the late Rod Preston, a onetime Hollywood hunk. Rod was not all he seemed on the big screen -- or so says the sleazy bio. The actor is linked to a shadowy world of powerful men, sinister perversion, and blood-chilling crimes so shocking, they give Justice a reason to fight the good fight once again. But no sooner has Justice cashed his advance check than Rod's loyal daughter unexpectedly turns up dead in her bedroom, a needle in her arm. The authorities rule her death a suicide, but Justice knows there's more to the story. Armed only with rumor and circumstantial evidence, Justice goes looking for the truth and discovers that the secrets he seeks lie hidden behind a web of deadly games and unspeakable depravity. To uncover them Justice may have to risk not just his life but his soul....

Mac closed her eyes because that's how one traditionally prepared for prayer, and she was in need of divine intervention. A hiccup of laughter almost bubbled out of her. What kind of merciful goddess would cast her, shirtless and prostrate before a roaring fire on a stormy night, subject to the tender ministrations of the straightest woman on the eastern seaboard? Mac is a new therapist at Fireside, a domestic violence shelter in rural Virginia. Mac hopes to find answers here--answers for the women and children she works with, and to her own lifelong restlessness. Perhaps she'll even learn the identity of the small ghost who's been following her all her life. Abby is the shelter's doctor--irresistibly alluring, and straight as a stick. Mac and Abby, devoted to those they serve, discover equal passion for each other while fighting to protect all they love. Fireside is a story of love, friendship, healing, and laying our ghosts to rest at last.
