Alice looks at the phone and then glances at the clock. 13:55 EST makes – she counts on her fingers – about 6pm in Berlin. He’ll be on his way home. Alice settles into the armchair and dials the number...

If Alice hadn't bumped into Will then she would probably never have phoned that afternoon. And if Alice hadn't called, then Michael, poor Michael, might still be alive today…

In a digital age of world-spanning communications and easy travel these stories explore how interconnected and yet fragmented our lives have become, and how – no matter where we live or what we do, no matter how different our lifestyles – the universal desires for love and happiness draw us ever onward.

“Both short story collection and novel, 13:55 Eastern Standard Time finds Nick Alexander at his best. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes funny, these are stories of lives that cross and collide in life-ending drama, or simply run peacefully alongside for a few hours – lives filled with characters who are attracted and repelled, hopeless and yet inspired. Narrated in Alexander's trademark tense prose, these interwoven stories explore the ripples emanating from our every act, ripples that alter distant destinies, and occasionally bounce back, catching us from behind to haunt or inspire.

13:55 Eastern Standard Time repeats the success of Alexander’s first novel, 50 Reasons to Say Goodbye because again, as with life itself, the whole is mysteriously greater than the sum of the parts. ”

On holiday with new boyfriend Tom, Mark - the hero from the best-selling novels, 50 Reasons to Say Goodbye and Sottopassaggio - heads off to rural Italy for a spot of camping.

When the ruggedly seductive Dante invites them onto his farmland the lovers think they have struck lucky, but there is more to Dante than meets the eye - much more.
Thoroughly bewitched, Tom, all innocence, appears blind to Dante's dark side... Racked with suspicion, it is Mark who notices as their holiday starts to spin slowly but very surely out of control - and it is Mark, alone, who can maybe save the day...
Good Thing, Bad Thing is a story of choices; an exploration of the relationship between understanding and forgiveness, and an investigation of the fact that life is rarely quite as bad - or as good - as it seems.
Above all Good Thing Bad Thing is another cracking adventure for gay everyman Mark.

 Hugh Fleetwood - The Dark Paintings - RRP $16.95 - OUR PRICE $13.99


OUR PRICE
$13.99!!


Wealthy, depraved and hugely gifted, Luigi Teramo likes to think of himself as a cross between a pagan fertility god and an evil wizard. Luigi has deliberately rejected his youthful talent for art in favour of making money, and of spending his fortune on young men and drugs. But he cannot bring himself to destroy the fruits of that rejected talent - his early paintings. And as the years pass, it starts to seem that those paintings possess a terrible power. A power that will cause Luigi's life to spin out of control, will destroy almost all who get close to him, and will end by involving him in blackmail, and murder.
The Dark Paintings is both a thriller and a black comedy - entertaining, shocking and profoundly disturbing.

'A tinge of the supernatural, a titillating whiff of the perverse,
and - topping it off - a compelling miasma of creepiness'

Mark is looking for love in all the wrong places. He always ignores the warning signs preferring to dream, time and again, that he has finally met the perfect lover until, one day, he really does…
Through fifty adventures, Nick Alexander, BIGfib's creator, takes us on a tour of modern gay society: bars, night-clubs, blind dates, Internet dating… It’s all here.
Funny and moving by turn, 50 Reasons to Say "Goodbye", is ultimately a series of candidly vivid snapshots and a poignant exploration of that long winding road; the universal search for love.

"A wonderful read - honest, moving, witty and really rather wise.” - Time Out

Following the loss of his partner, Mark, the obstinately optimistic hero of 50 Reasons to Say "Goodbye", tries to pick up the pieces and build a new life for himself in the seaside town of Brighton.

Haunted by the death of his lover and a fading sense of self Mark struggles to put the past behind him, exploring Brighton's high and low-life, falling in love with charming, but unavailable Tom, and hooking up with Jenny.

But Jenny has her own problems, and as all around are inexorably sucked into the violence of her life, destiny intervenes, weaving the past to the present, and the present to the future in ways no one could have imagined.

“Friendships, Love - lost in a heartbeat and found against the odds. These essentials are what this sexy, serious, and ultimately cheery book is all about.”

$13.99!!


Adam is a delightful sixteen-year-old who does well in school and spends his spare time practising the cello. Or that's what his parents think.

But there is another side to him, which comes to the fore when he falls for a labourer called Sylvain and realises that friendships have the potential to be more than platonic. The results are explosive in this passionate story of illicit romance and teenage angst over one long, hot summer in the French countryside.
