Saturday is a reluctant detective. Like a mosquito to a bug-zapper, he is drawn firmly down a road that destiny has surfaced with murder, heart-break, broken flamingos, and love.
Dealing with heart-breaking loss and in fear for his own life, Saturday must catch a murderer.  


Mardis Gras on Galveston Island is a huge party.

And someone has invited a killer.

Evan 'Saturday' Lucas, a recent transplant from Minneapolis to Galveston, is the not altogether-unwilling apprentice to the private investigator Megan Connor. Mostly, he enjoys being spectator to Megan’s exploits as her dedicated clerical assistant. Megan, for her part, is insistent in her tutelage and seems driven to improve Evan on all levels.

On a forced march along West Beach on Galveston Island they hear gunshots and then find two bodies. Not long after, Saturday is nearly killed in a car-jacking and two more bodies are found.

Saturday doesn't really want to be a detective. Moreover, he isn't really suited to it. Still, he is oddly fascinated by the profession and, like a mosquito to a bug-zapper, he is drawn firmly onto a road that Destiny has surfaced with murder, heart-break, broken flamingos, and love.

Saturday must catch the killer before he is the next victim.

This too long, alternate mouseover text is provided in the interest of not annoying people who will struggle to try and read them (they appear when you hold a mouse over a link or an image) before they dissappear. Also it is about trying to get the site listed in the search engines so I can trap the unwary and ask them to read what I am offering :). Chasing Saturday is a novel of fiction in the mystery genre. It features a reluctant detective who is forced by three murders, and an attempt on his own life, to catch a killer. It is a laugh-out-loud funny story featuring a gay, Out hero who has a dry wit. While not traditional chick lit, the novel certainly falls into that category's broad definition. Neither is it a work of literary fiction, instead I would classify it as commercial fiction or popular fiction. It is a fun, happy whodunnit. The author is seeking an agent. Or a publisher. Or any avid reader who know agents or publishers that are looking for work they would like to represent. This blurb has been brought to you by the committee to help folks interested in queer fiction that is mainstream fiction audience accessible find Chasing Saturday, a comedic mystery, by a GLBT male author in the Google Index. Support your local gay writers who write funny fiction. Please. If you have a website that is similar to this one, and you want to trade links, I would be delighted to do that.
