Books by Jameson Currier

Inspired by true events, A Gathering Storm begins in a small university town in the South when a gay college student is beaten. In the ensuing days as the young man struggles to survive in a hospital, the residents of the town and the university find themselves at the center of a growing media frenzy as the crime reverberates through the local and national consciousness. Using details and elements from actual hate crimes committed against gay men, Currier weaves personal and spiritual layers into a timely and emotional story.

Jesse and Adam have spent twenty-four cantankerous years as significant others--half of their lives. Now in their late forties, a small domestic fight swells between the gay couple into a major battle, ensnaring a talkative, opportunistic young man as collateral damage"--Page 4 of cover.

Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex brings together twenty stories by Jameson Currier about gay men and their relationships, including the author's widely praised fiction and erotica previously published in literary journals, Web sites, and award-winning anthologies.

From the author of "Where the Rainbow Ends" and "The Haunted Heart," this debut collection of short stories, first published in 1993, was praised for its courageous and compassionate depiction of the impact of AIDS on gay men and their families and friends.

Currier brings together 20 short stories, spanning three decades, of the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the gay community. Along with stories from his debut collection, "Dancing on the Moon," praised by "The Village Voice" as "defiant and elegiac," are 10 newly selected stories written by one of the preeminent masters of the short narrative form.

From the award-winning author of Where the Rainbow Ends and The Haunted Heart comes a witty tour de force of spirits, spooks, and sinners, a supernatural roller coaster set in the Big Easy that is giddy, soulful, and sentimental.
