Misty Row

Misty Row is a fictitious, mist-filled, small town, set in Upstate New York. It is about a prominent, wealthy, African-American family-The Morgans. They have secrets and plenty of them. Deep, dark secrets and many issues. A host of multi-ethnic characters make the story entertaining and an edge-of-your-seat read. At times, it can be very dark, very moody, very colorful and always compelling. The happenings and goings-on in this tiny, smouldering hamlet make for plenty of surprises and much intrigue. The elemental, nightly mist, which filters the town, serves as an ominous backdrop for the stifling emotions with which the characters grapple, as well as the almost-choking challenges that they face. The story begins with twenty-eight year old homosexual Trey Morgan returning to his home town-Misty Row-after a mysterious, ten year absence. He has his relatively new lover, Darian Wakefield, in tow. Once Trey becomes reacquainted with the members of his family-especially his morose cousin, Antoinette, and his secret identical twin brother, Travis-the drama really begins. Darian gets an eyeful and then some. Disturbing, family secrets are exposed, as events crescendo into a shocking, final, cliff-hanging chapter-which could rival the nighttime dramas of yesteryear. Written in the old fashioned, soap opera style; this novel is very sexually explicit and, sometimes, quite graphic. The basic elements of the soap genre are all here: including backstabbing, plotting, love affairs, forbidden passions, and raging emotions. Definitely escape, fantasy reading, yet very real and very much based in the seeds of life's harsh and eye-opening realities. Just what secrets are those Morgans hiding?

	Superb African-American literature at its best! 07/12/2005
Reviewer: Mike, Da Site from Baltimore, MD
Easily the most profound piece of gay black fiction ever written! And regardless of having one of the most complex storylines ever, Misty Row is gripping from start to finish! To say gripping is an understatement! Wrenching would be closer to the feeling one gets when reading Misty Row! Moreover the author shows profound talent! In fact, Misty Row displays a writing prowess virtually unknown amongst gay black authors period! One feels a sense of the classic when reading it ! Odd you notice that I haven't even talked about the story's plot. Just the execution of the story line is amazing! However every story is about something and Misty Row is no different! Set in a small town USA, the story is about families really! Very special families though that are as rich as they are poor, as successful as they are destitute, as comfortable as they are miserable and as exalted as they are debased! This is the story of the Morgans & Maxwells, the old money families who after generations have all the trappings of the upper class and all of its vices! Fabulously rich but crass and unrefined! And yet it is a story of the families that are usurpers to the dynastic hopes of the Rich and the Restless! Having no money or breeding to speak of, the families Dominguez and Wakefield set about to make their mark! And so Misty Row is a depiction of the struggle between the rich and the poor, the ugly and the beautiful, the blessed and the cursed, the legitimate and the bastard, the noble and the abominable! A depiction most exquisite for those with an acquired taste for the wicked, the twisted, the sordid, the shocking and the filthy! Misty Row bodes well because truly it shows the birth of a great talent! I am amazed because this work represents the author finding himself and his style. I say this having read some of his earlier work. And so I whole heartedly recommend the reading this story but I caution those who are faint of heart because Misty Row is seismic! -Mike
