Leap of Faith
A vivid novel about ingenuity and hard slog, crooks and dreamers, bootleggers and love. Billy is a young, impressionable dreamer. In 1907, he strikes off on his own, keen to prove himself an able worker on the new railroad. It’s being cut through steep mountainsides and across deep gullies to join the two ends of the Main Trunk Line. Also drawn to the remote worker settlements are miners from Denniston, young men fresh off the boat, sly-groggers, temperance campaigners, women following their menfolk, local Maori and a varied assortment of people after a new life or a quick buck. Among them is a preacher, Gabriel Locke, who is running from a shady past and determined to avoid the daily grind. With untimely and suspicious deaths, the horrendous weather, impossible deadlines and the rugged landscape, it will take a lot more than a leap of faith for this disparate group to complete the railroad and build the magnificent Makatote viaduct . . .
Shock Talk
The engaging smile and easy manner of Billy McBride, TV talk show host, belies the deep pain he carries from childhood-being abandoned by his father. This old but still raw pain leaves Billy vulnerable to the life situation of show guest Allison Owens. Allison and her mother, Jenny, have come on the show desperately hoping to encounter some healing for their disintegrating relationship. Instead, the show erupts into unexpected chaos, as Allison still has wounds on her wrists from a recent suicide attempt. Billy attempts to help Allison, eventually resorting to exorcism for both of them. The plot takes many twists and turns, but results in each character finding spiritual freedom from pain in the past.

Music to My Sorrow

Billy Tabbs (& The Glorious Darrow)
A youthful vagrant, Billy Tabbs has been living on the streets for as long as he can remember, scratching out a pitiable existence in a city that doesn’t much care if he lives or dies. Amid rumors that his kind are disappearing from the alleyways and the overpasses, Billy is recruited into a bizarre homeless sect living in the underbelly of high society. It is here where he meets Darrow–the mysterious and volatile leader of an organization committed to escalating acts of civil disobedience. However, as the group’s actions turn violent and hypocritical, and the suspicious death of one member plunges the group into chaos, Billy must weigh the danger of his continued allegiance against the danger of breaking his solemn vow to Darrow.
Queer (Un)Friendly Film and Television
In the past, representations of alternative lifestyles on film were, even in their most explicit forms, faint and ambiguous, and the television industry was even more conservative. But in more recent years, thanks in part to the success of such films as Philadelphia, The Birdcage, To Wong Fu and In & Out, and television programs such as Will & Grace, a collective effort is underway to construct a positive new public image for gays and lesbians. This work studies recent cinematic and television depictions of gays and lesbians. It examines the gay male conversion fantasy in Get Real, Beautiful Thing, I Think I Do, and Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, the metaphor of the aging artist as a teacher...
