Kurzbiographie
Archie Hellshire is an author with aspirations of being able to write. He was born in the Caribbean where he developed a love of nature, the metric system, and high temperatures. In school, lacking any athletic or social ability, he became a very bookish person, indulging in the works of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, JK Rowling, and Charles Dodgson. Despite being well read, he struggled with dyslexia and would forever remain horrible at spelling. The advent of Spell Checker reignited his dreams of becoming an author.

Archie grew up in a family and culture that was not tolerant of homosexuals, and he spent his entire young life in the closet, retreating into his books and a rich fantasy life. In the theater of his mind, the romances he read could be edited to be male couples. He dreamed of one day writing his own stories and living his own happy ending.

Reading that story felt like sitting through a hurricane! Fast paced, great characters and a race against time all packed into 78 pages of pure escapist entertainment.

I don't quite know what it was about this book, but I was really captivated by it. Daniel was a character driven by (what it seemed to me) a lot of OCD and fear of things not falling into the specific routine he imagines. He likes things just-so, and doesn't seem to interact with people much. When he sees an attractive man on the subway after his morning's routine has already gone a little off schedule, he finds himself wanting to put himself out there. Of course, nothing is as simple as it should be, and Daniel ends up getting much more than he bargained for. Nathan is a courier who just delivers packages. Someone attempts to mug him on the subway, Daniel helps him out, and they end up on the run from much more than a mugging.

I definitely had to hit the "I believe" button a few times. Their escapes from danger seemed too perfect at times, but I was intrigued and rooting for Daniel and Nathan as they tried to get to safety. This was enjoyable, and I'd be curious what book 2 would entail. Hopefully it would show us what happens next, because it did feel a little unfinished at the end.
