About this ebook
Sweet, sexy, wise and thoroughly entertaining, this mytho-historical novel features two lovable apparitions from the late 1800s America. Their adventures in the novel-within-the-novel that the book is about interweave in a heart-warming story of youthful romance and mature, modern love. And the story offers an ageless life-affirming and gay-positive spiritual message ...along with just a touch of the Twilight Zone.
