![]() Raymond locked the front door of his house, the three-bedroom semi on Deramore Gardens he’d lived in for thirty years. The real Raymond Drew, the creature that had hidden beneath this human skin for more than six decades, would be revealed. At least if he was gone, he would not have to face that terrible discovery. He should have destroyed them, but he couldn’t, he was not strong enough to take that action and endure the consequences. They would contact his family, such as it was, and his sister Ida would go to his house. To survive and be brought to a hospital was unthinkable. If he could manage it, he’d fall dead into the water. He didn’t care if the ground was sodden with rainfall as he collapsed. Even if there was no sun, no blue sky to die beneath, he wanted it to be by the river. Raymond Drew wanted to die on the towpath. ![]()

It’s about finding your partner and being okay with your own sexuality. Shelby Tamres: False Colors is a tale about two guys in the English Navy who are finding love and fighting the gay stigma in the 1800s. We gave False Colors to avid reader Shelby Tamres for the woman’s perspective and Transgressions to the better half of this reporter, Shane Sears, for the gay man’s point of view. It also should be noted that the cover art for Transgressions has two guys that look a lot like the gay couple on the daytime soap opera As the World Turns. There’s no doubt that Annie Proulx’s Brokeback Mountain played a part in this emerging trend. False Colors by Alex Beecroft and Transgressions by Erastes are two offerings from Running Press. It’s gay tales of love and lust, but written by women for women.
