MARK ABRAMSON
After years of contributing nonfiction pieces to Christopher Street and Gay Sunshine, Mark Abramson has turned his witty self over to gay fiction—and his books are as much fun as the mega-dance pier parties and the “Men Behind Bars” AIDS benefits he’s famous for co-producing in San Francisco. Bob Lind of Echo Magazine says Beach Reading is “absolutely the best gay mystery series to come along in at least a decade!” and Wayne Gunn of Lambda Literary Foundation enthuses: “Without ever seeming derivative, the series clearly is indebted to Armistead Maupin. The author has great fun with his characters; so does the reader.” Fun it is—and woe to any critic who tries to pigeonhole Beach Reading: Yes, it’s gay fiction. It’s also gay romance, gay mystery, and, according to The Bay Area Reporter, a whole lotta “zany, madcap frolicking (and murder)...which gets better with each installment.” In an interview in The San Francisco Chronicle’s SFGate.com, Mark Abramson himself says it was his search for “the next Armistead Maupin” that led him to create Tim Snow, Aunt Ruth and the quirky cast of characters in his colorful gay romance series. "I wanted to find a book where I was so familiar with everything that I wouldn't have to think too hard, that I would just be entertained." Fun, sexy and mysterious, Mark Abramson has scored with these offbeat tales from the Castro. Because "If you're going to read beach reading,” he points out, “why shouldn't it be good?"
