The Strange Case of Kurt James
Here's a nice little five star review on my gay romantic suspense novel: THE STRANGE CASE OF KURT JAMES.
*****
"An Instant Classic!
"Kurt James is not one to stay out of the limelight. Tired of wasting his time on drugs and being known as New York's infamous call boy, he turns his life around by becoming a highly sought-after tutor for business giants and barons. However, tragedies always seem to follow Kurt wherever he goes. Scandals, violence, and murders; is he simply a spectator, or does his closet conceal skeletons? It all began when Kurt met the Darling family and found himself falling in love with the father, David, and his son, Claude — someone he has been hired to tutor. David's connection to President Richard Nixon raises a few eyebrows, but the Watergate Scandal makes things worse for him. Topped with two murders at the Darling Place on Fifth Avenue, and Kurt once again finds himself in the middle of mayhem.
The Strange Case of Kurt James by Jery Tillotson is another compelling addition to the author's fascinating list of novels with strong gay themes. This tale has the perfect amount of adventure, thrill, mystery, and excitement to make it a bestseller, similar to the author's previously published novels, Naked Jesus and White Gods. James's story will take you from the 1973 drug-fueled streets of New York to the posh neighborhoods and beyond as he tries to fight off negative labels attached to his name. Is he a home wrecker, or is there more to his story?
Jery Tillotson has long been a cherished writer. Ever since he left his career as a journalist and started penning down short stories and novels for fiction lovers, he has managed to become an international sensation, and rightfully so. With The Strange Case of Kurt James, he sustains his spot amongst other popular writers yet again, delivering a tale that is twisty and in prose that is gorgeous; the characters are nuanced and the conflict expertly written to transform the story into a page-turner.

In 1973, Darling Place is recognized as the most opulent of the grand mansions that line Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Yet, within those gilded walls, poisonous emotions simmer--awaiting a flame to ignite them into an inferno of explosive fury. There's sixteen-year-old Claude Darling: handsome, precocious, drug addicted and habitually arrested for indecent exposure. His mother is neurotic millionairess Mona, whose become a strident feminist activist but who brutally tortures her adorable little son, Tuffy. Her husband is David Darling, most handsome and promiscuous of the Wall Street tigers and intimate confidante to President Richard Nixon, who battles daily the Watergate Scandal in Washington that uncovers a vast web of conspiracy and criminality that can land the Chief Executive in prison.
Enter golden-haired, charismatic Kurt James into this maelstrom of raw emotions to tutor Claude and whose dynamic personality quickly fascinates both father and son—much to the alarm of Mona. She demands her husband fire this extraordinary young man who desperately wants to hide his notorious past as Gotham's most expensive male escort and gay activist. When David refuses and instead promotes Kurt to manage the operation of the mansion, two violent murders explode at Darling Place and overnight, the name of Kurt James becomes emblazoned in headlines as a "degenerate" homewrecker and the lover of President' Nixon's most intimate confidante. Is Kurt James just another victim of violent homophobia rampant at that time? Or is he actually a dazzling yet cunning psychopath who trails behind him a history of scandal, turmoil and murder?
His strange secret is finally revealed in an ending guaranteed to shock the reader!

Among the leading gay authors represented in this book, my best-seller from 1993, THE ROPE ABOVE, THE BED BELOW is highlighted with a long excerpt which describes a sex-mad Manhattan of 1980 in which a serial killer stalks blonde-haired go-go boys, which describes the hero. This book is based on an actual string of butcheries committed mostly in Greenwich Village, starting in the late 1970s. The killer was never found although the strongest theory is that the madman was actually a New York City vice squad worker.
NAKED JESUS

ERIC'S BODY
Celebrating its 30th anniversary of being in print. Published in 1993 by Masquerade Books, Jason Fury's powerful collection of male-male stories became an overnight sensation and gradually an international best-seller. The book was re-issued by the Author's Guild of Back-in-Print of American classics and once more became a top seller. And then in January 2017, Open Road Media brought the rights and re-issued it once more to a new generation. Although banned in Canada until 2011, the twenty-one stories of complicated men have enthralled readers for two decades. Badboys, hot Daddies, psychos, jocks, truckers, tragic lovers, Fury's tales range from the heart-breaking, "Barbed Wire," to the humorous, "The Bastard of the County," to the haunting "The Last of the Seven Beauties." Read and be thrilled by story collection that was "rejected by over 120 agents and editors who all called my stories junk, porno and garbage."

Shocking but true, take a journey through the tumultuous life he lived and be fascinated, aroused and not forgotten

HIS EYES WERE DARK, HE LICKED HIS LIPS
Jery Tillotson says this about the writing of HIS EYES WERE DARK HE LICKED HIS LIPS: "I lived on the Upper Eastside of Manhattan for 25 years and I would walk past these enormous old mansions and structures, some which seemed boarded up and deserted, and I wondered about their histories. One nearby doorman I knew on Fifth Avenue told me that one of these gothic structures was the scene of a sensational murder trial in the seventies where the heiress was butchered. No one was ever convicted although there was heavy suspicions about the handsome young housekeeper and the stunning Wall Street tycoon and the badboy son all having a gay affair. That, I thought, would make a great story."

Non-stop action as Mr. Universe, Johnny America, and his muscle gods join forces with Queen of the Underworld, Christian Tremont, and her army of beautiful vampire and werewolf boys, as they battle the Dark Ones, the hideous union of monsters as they fight to take over the real world.
