Critical success, sudden fame, toe-curling sex with the man of your dreams, a back-up best friend in the wings, friends with potentially life-shattering secrets and heart-breaking, career destroying machinations by someone close to him; just how much of a good thing can a small-city gay guy take?
Writing Faerie Tale was Jack's way of filling time after the death of his lover. He never expected it to become a best-seller, yanking him from his quiet West Palm Beach group of friends and quiet life, to Hollywood, Provincetown, and then, into the arms and bed of Academy Award winning actor Todd Power.
Jack's friends Jill and Michael, are overjoyed by his success, but are dealing with demons of their own. Michael, desperate to escape his dead-end job with a South Florida tabloid, decides that respectability will be attained by writing an unauthorized biography of Todd Power. With the collusion of Todd's actress wife, who has her own reasons to seek vengeance, he plans to "out" the actor, even though it will break the heart of one of his closest friends.
Ben and Brian withheld a secret from their friends that can either destroy their relationship of build the bonds of forever. The couple wants nothing more than for Jack to find a love like the one they share, and they know where he should look.
Rounding out the group is Andy, who has silently loved Jack for years. He's waited patiently for Jack to work through his grief and now watches helplessly as he falls for a man with whom Andy can't compete. Deciding that it's time to move on, he looks for the right moment to say goodbye to his life in West Palm Beach.
Whether it's the depths of despair, endless fame and fortune, or just learning that the real treasures of life can be found in your own backyard, what comes next can happen only in a Faerie Tale.
