{"product_id":"2940153894836","title":"Fair to Middling: Part Five of The Great Dane Saga","description":"\u003cp\u003eMeet Dane Danois - the most fabulous gay man in the Universe ... in his own, never humble opinion. A man driven to live life to the full, and if there's a chance that he can help a friend along the way, he will. A sharp-suited, sharp-witted, sometimes reckless, sometimes dangerous, always intoxicating agent of change ... and loyal to a T.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Fair To Middling, we find Dane in North America, chewing them up and spitting them out as usual. In Toronto, he meets Warren, a survivor of domestic abuse, and through him, Alex, also a survivor. In trying to help Alex to heal, Dane takes him to Jersey and then to London, meeting for the first time Anton de Chevalier, the Harley Street therapist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn standing up for Warren, Dane exhibits a side of his nature that we rarely see, but as Gran always said, you have to stand up for yourself and, in particular, those unable to stand up for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Great Dane Saga charts the life of Dane Danois, and his many and varied friendships and relationships over the course of a 40 year period. The six parts of the story do not run in strict chronological order. That is because the story was never going to be a saga, but after I finished part one, it was clear that Dane was not going to shut up until I had written down everything he wanted to say - he was a poor narrator. Dane is neither wholly good nor wholly bad - he is just Dane - perfect in his imperfections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe six parts of The Great Dane Saga originally appeared in 2013, in single volumes, and then in the compendium titled All The World. All volumes were removed from the shelf in 2014 for re-editing. The six individual volumes, and the compendium, will re-appear during the course of 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am always very happy to receive your feedback.
