Coffee Shops and Condoms by Eden Winters

One day, when Dave discovers a big basket filled to the brim with colorful condoms he's instantly intrigued and quite drawn to this rubber rainbow, unsure what to do about his curiosity. That's where he met Billy at a Gay Straight Alliance, and they have been best friends since.īilly cares for his friend (more than Dave realizes) and he quite naturally became Dave's guide. This sweet little tale introduces us to Dave, quiet and shy farm boy and Billy, confident, self-proclaimed computer nerd.Īfter Dave came out, his parents sent him to live with his aunt in the city, thinking it would be easier to be out and proud. Her natural habitats are coffee shops and on the backs of motorcycles.

When not putting characters in dangerous situations she’s cosplaying for children's charities or hanging out at the farm being a mother, grandmother, and vegetarian. Her e-mail contains various snippets of forensic wisdom, such as “What would a dead body left in a Mexican drug tunnel look like after six months?” In the process of her adventures, she has written over twenty-six gay romance novels, lost count of novellas and short stories, has won Rainbow Awards, was a Lambda Awards Finalist, and lives in terror of authorities showing up at her door to question her Internet searches.

She’s trudged down hallways with police detectives, learned to disarm knife-wielding bad guys, and witnessed the correct way to blow doors off buildings.

Watch out, she hugs!ĭriven by insatiable curiosity, she possibly holds the world’s record for curriculum changes to the point that she’s never quite earned a degree but is a force to be reckoned with at Trivial Pursuit. You will know Eden Winters by her distinctive white plumage and exuberant cry of “Hey, y’all!” in a Southern US drawl so thick it renders even the simplest of words unrecognizable.
