The High Priesthood of Being Gay

About the Book

“The High Priesthood of Being gay” is a labor of love over 12 years in the writing. It included numerous, often exhausting, edits for accuracy and truthfulness. It’s a bold attempt to separate out Being and Nothingness in what it is to be gay. Both sacred and profane, emotional and intellectual, it will expand the reader’s thought processes and I hope ennoble him at the same time. That’s by showing the latent high priest deeply enshrined within.

About the Author

I’m the author of several books some with gay themes. “Nut Grass,” (a mostly straight novel along the lines of “Grapes of Wrath” and “As I Lay Dying), “Voices from the Tomb” (existential horror stories) and “Cathedral Crimes.” The last title explores the leather, S&M scene of l960s San Diego. I live in Morongo Valley near Palm Springs, California. Also an artist, I make rust-iron sculptures and acrylic-on-canvas paintings. A jazz pianist as well, I perform at public events, nightclubs, house parties and church services. I intend for “Tainted Glass” to form the groundwork and introduction to the publication of my forthcoming philosophic treatise-manifesto, “The High Priesthood of Being Gay.”
