Summary: A story about coming of age queer. About love between men. About fathers and sons. About longing, fulfillment, heartbreak, and joy. After yet another fight with his father, Pierre leaves home. He doesn't plan on leaving, but on his way to school the next day he doesn't get off the bus. Still in his uniform, he goes to the end of the line, sticks out his thumb, and takes the first ride. He doesn’t see himself as a runaway, more as a wanderer. He’s heading to, not from. To what, he doesn’t know. His ignorance of the world has been imposed. His self-assurance is all his own. The only thing he knows to be true is his attraction to men. This is his story. From boy to man. From the 70s to the 90s. From the backwoods to the whole wide world. From pining after an elusive loner to later, much later, meeting a single dad. For nearly twenty years we watch Pierre grow from a teenager afraid of nothing to a man who's learned one thing: he's better off on his own. Life begs to differ. Pierre Before Bill is a prequel to a series and reads entirely on its own.

Summary: Pierre and Bill have been together for 35 years ever since Bill was a kid. Neither related nor romantically involved, their relationship began with a third man who has long since passed. Like everyone, they face challenges. But they overcame those obstacles and in the end, each found a partner and all four men settled down together—along with one little girl. 'Pierre & Bill Now' opens several years later and Pierre and Bill are alone once again. Life’s rollercoaster ride has taken its toll. Age, too, has become an issue and, for Pierre, new challenges arise. Bill, on the other hand, is at his peak—professionally, at least. While he engages in sex, he’s given up on love. So when his job is threatened by insidious allegations, his world falls apart. Until he fights back. And that fight gives Pierre new life. Even now, he’s a scrapper. With elements of mystery, erotica, and romance along with a good dose of humor, the novel follows many trails. But love takes center stage. Whether as parents, children, lovers, rivals or friends, everyone wants love, fears losing it, and struggles to make room for more. This is a story about family, too. The family that you choose. The sequel to Pierre & Bill: A Love Story.
