Smoking Guns & Other Accessories: Tyler's Tide

What if you accidentally started the gay mafia? Lawrence Michaels made the choice to join his friends in Tyler's Tide.

Before long, he's chasing down a shadowy figure, fighting bashers, and falling in love with his best friend's brother, who happens to be straight.

Coming to his hometown of Tyler for a weekend gay party, he realizes the simplest plans can go awry when the straight community declares war on the gay community. "On Target Gay Satire...It screams for a separation of church and state to help the gay community move forward." "Gently barbed and refreshingly unpredictable." "A diverting, delicious and finally damning story.

With crisp dialogue and a dynamic use of language, Edward creates characters who evoke both desire and disgust." 2007 Lambda Literary Award Nominee
