Cover and blurb reveal

I'm pleased to be at a stage close enough to the release of my next book, Pride, to unveil the cover and blurb. The novella follows on from my exploration of sexuality in FAG and, I suppose, can be viewed as a companion piece in this respect. Having said that, Pride is entirely stand-alone and very different, not least because it takes place in the nineties, some sixty years after FAG's boarding school setting.

While Pride could be described as a coming-of-age and coming-out story, I don't wish to label the book as such because I feel issues around sexuality can be extrapolated to all people, gay or straight. After all, how many of us, at one time or another, have felt unable to be our true selves? With this in mind, I have hope that the book's audience will not be restricted to those who have had to, or have yet to, 'come out'.

I would one day love to see fiction centring around a gay protagonist described as just 'fiction' and not 'gay fiction'. It affects us all.

So, without further ado, I am happy to share with you the following...

Coming soon on Kindle and in paperback
“Where are you going, Liam? You're always going somewhere. I feel as if I don’t know you any more.”

“I told you, Mum, I’m going for a pizza then seeing a film with a friend.”

But Liam is not having pizza or seeing a film; he’s going to his first Gay Pride march. 

Liam has always felt different in a way he couldn’t quite pinpoint… up until now. He’s been a caterpillar all his life and his parents want him to stay that way. But Liam wants to be a butterfly.

A tender, funny and moving novella from critically-acclaimed author Jonathan Hill.
