book cover for Animated

Review - Animated by Kim Fielding

My rating: * * * * *

Frank was a paratrooper in World War II, but he was injured in a drop shortly after the D-Day landings. The injury left him with a bad foot and the need to use a cane to get around. Although he had dreams of being an artist, Frank found work as an animator for a Hollywood film company, and he’s very good at it. He’s now the lead animator for the frog character of a cartoon version of The Frog Prince.

book cover for Havana Bay

Review - Havana Bay by John Patrick

My rating: * * * * *

Hank Mannix is helping Hans manage his new guest house in Havana. Along with former FBI agent Tony Cordero, Hank also poses in scantily clad scenes for a “physique” style magazine, the very soft-core gay porn of the day. He doesn’t want to admit it, but with his thirtieth birthday approaching, Hank’s days as a pin-up boy are numbered. Hank is also wondering why he is so attracted to the cute Cuban gardener he’s seen watching him.

book cover for Turtle Bay

Review - Turtle Bay by John Patrick

My rating: * * * * *

Hans escapes the Nazi prison camp where he was being repeatedly raped by one of the guards. He makes his way to Ireland, where James and Otto help to get him on a boat to America. The pair of lovers come with Hans, as their own situation has become dangerous for them. Five years later, the war is over and they’re all settled in New York. Hans runs a boarding house that is very selective about the kind of men it accommodates.
