"Bela Lugosi" and Other Stories. (Original writing)

"Bela Lugosi and Other Stories" explores the romantic minefield embedded in the contemporary urban landscape. "Bela Lugosi", first published in Genre magazine, and its sequel, "Wedding Exercises", describe a young gay man's attempts to reconcile his sexuality with a world that tends to marginalize through indifference. "Hating Yourself in the Morning" and "The Last Hour of Sun" concern the romantic exploits of Celeste, a 30-ish makeup artist whose New York savvy is tempered by an irrepressible flightiness.
