P.S. Hey Gang, I've volunteered to raise funds for the YMCA this year. It's a great organization that does a lot for the community: they assist children who have difficulties because of family economics; they offer reduced rates for adults who are unable to afford regular memberships so they, too, can exercise; and they have programs for senior citizens as well. I'm sure many of you have had some experience with the Y -- and even that is a service to the community. ;-)

I will be having a raffle at the pool party. Those who bring a donation of $5.00, $10.00, or more will receive a ticket to enter the prize drawing -- one ticket for each $5.00 you donate. Please consider making a tax-free donation and help others in the process. I'd like to think we all lead a life that has many blessings -- including the ability to participate in monthly dinners, pool parties, happy hours, movie nights -- and this is a chance for us to give a little back to others less fortunate.

Thanks for your anticipated support! Bill

First You Fall: A Kevin Connor Mystery (Scott Sherman) When his friend's death is ruled a suicide, Kevin Connor -- a hustler by trade, sleuth by default -- sets out to prove a case of murder. It doesn't help matters that the victim's grown children, who disapproved of their father's gay lifestyle, are only concerned about their inheritance. But they are not Kevin's only problem. His high-strung mother has moved in with him-and she knows nothing about his questionable . . . job.

Synopsis: “1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde. It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.” The movie stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde.

Selfish and Perverse (Bob Smith) From Publishers Weekly: Standup comedian and television writer Smith, who published the Lambda Award–winning memoir Openly Bob in 1997, throws his hat into the gay fiction ring with this absorbing, funny and smoldering romantic comedy. Nelson Kunker, a miserably single, mid-30s unproductive novelist and Hollywood script coordinator for late night TV's Aftertaste, is burning out: endless cat-fighting at work, a boss from hell and the nagging notion that he's either really talented or just gay. Safeguarded by best friend Wendy (a gigantic lesbian), Nelson's love life finally gets a boost after a chance meeting with burly Alaskan salmon fisherman–cum–student archeologist Roy Briggs, cousin to Aftertaste's star performer Joe Benedetti. The two are immediately smitten, but Nelson gets fired for smoking marijuana with sexually ambiguous guest star Dylan Fabizak, on parole and postrehab after a drug arrest. Cut to Nelson, Roy and Dylan at Roy's home in Coffee Point, Alaska, with all the sex, danger, salmon fishing lore and sarcastic dialogue one reader could want, and an appearance from mother-hen Wendy to sort it all out. Pithy zingers (and a fair share of apparently intentional groaners), a chatty gang of likable characters, a simple yet sexy plot line and camera-ready prose combine with panache in this immensely entertaining story.
