A Glowing 90s LGBTQ Novel!
Bored with L.A. scene, Jessy, the Mafia Hairdresser, reinvents himself as an A-List Chicago party boy and befriends celebrity book-agent, Tarin, who encourages him to party-on and write about the nightlife as only he can. As Jessy’s seemingly whimsical chapters begin to reflect the dark side of living high in the LGBTQ Circuit Boy Ecstasy decade, he falls in love with a rave “Newbie.”
Enter the shocking insiders-only nightlife world of the hairdresser, the cater-waiter, the book-agent, the celebrity psychologist and their doctor-friend who prescribes fun with a pay-later attitude.
