    Pussy's Bow Pussy's Bow

     
    By Neal Drinnan


     Three men who share a stunning art deco mansion have their lives tossed into turmoil when, during a typical evening of mild excess, one of them is set upon by a gang of gay-bashing teens. The arrival of the other two send most of the teens scattering, but one of the bashers is accidentally killed in the ensuing struggle. Now the three have a body to hide and secrets to keep—not an easy task when the pregnant girlfriend of the dead teen shows up at their house looking for her missing beau.

    Further complicating things is their handsome, naive, and too-curious houseboy, whose arrival has already upset the household's dynamic, and their next-door neighbor and good friend, a woman with appetites of her own. When passions run riot in a house that hides too many secrets, it isn't long before everyone's had it up to pussy's bow, and something disastrous is bound to happen.

    "Libidos swing out of control, tempers fray, and the best friendships are threatened...a sparkling, sexy new read."

    -- Outrage

    "Obsessed with morality, intent on exposing the conditional nature of relationships, and fascinated by the devils within each of us, Drinnan bites off more than most writers can chew...a roller coaster ride of action and danger that explores corruption, racism, and alternatives to traditional family values."

    -- Melbourne Star-Observer
