Provoked, the first in Joanna Chambers’ Enlightenment trilogy, is set in Regency Scotland, at a time of much political and social unrest. The author immediately evokes a strong sense of time and place with the opening of the story in which two young men – weavers accused of treason – are publicly executed. Present in the crowd…
How does a gay agoraphobic fine artist find love? In the pantheon of opposites attract romances, how artist Miles Caldwell and rock sensation Adam Craig (of Black Varen, the band of the moment) meet and fall in love might be one of the most stirring. After his parents die in a car crash from which…
Boney’s latest is the epitome of Yogi Berra’s famous quote: “It’s like deja vu, all over again.” Unlike Berra, Boney’s book dabbles in reincarnation and the parallel lives of two lovers music critic Stanton Parrish has at either end of his life.

Plan B, on the other hand, centers on the college crowd. Would…
