Kissing Behind the Bathhouse

Kissing Behind the Bathhouse is a gay romantic comedy--and so much more. Readers have said that it is a terrific novel; entertaining, funny, and moving.

Wealthy, gay college student, Dave Ankeny just wants to find a topic for his senior thesis so he can graduate in the spring. However, his family and friends have other plans; they think he needs a love life. Therefore, on Dave’s twenty-second birthday, Dave’s father, an overly supportive parent, gives him a membership to a gay bathhouse.

Jangling with lust one night, Dave bikes to the bathhouse and meets Chris, the yummiest guy Dave has ever seen. Unfortunately, Chris comes with baggage—a seamy work environment, a powerful homophobic family, and a dark nemesis who soon becomes Dave’s mortal enemy.

Loaded with literary situations and literary allusions, bicycle adventures, gay sex, mythological types and anti-types, a loving family, and a cat who is love, Kissing Behind the Bathhouse is a multi-layered and meaningful romp.
