Straight Lies


*THIS POST IS BEING MADE BY GUEST-BLOGGER, FRANK ANTHONY POLITO

Got a couple photos from KW to share with you this morning afternoon (sorry for the blogging delay)... But before I do anything else, I must send a shout-out to my pal Rob Byrnes whose fourth novel, Straight Lies, goes on sale today.

Rob is the Lambda Award-winning author of When the Stars Come Out and an all-around great guy. If you haven't checked out his other books (The Night We Met and Trust Fund Boys), you totally should!

From the press release:

"From award-winning author Rob Byrnes comes a wickedly entertaining caper involving red-hot men, cold hard cash, and deliciously dirty deeds…

Grant and Chase are a fun-loving pair of small-time hustlers with no money, little patience, and lots of get-rich-quick schemes. If only they could pull off the perfect crime—“The Big One,” as Grant calls it—Chase could finally quit his job at the supermarket and the two could retire in style.

Romeo Romero is the world’s hottest openly gay celebrity. He’s got the face, the abs, the fame, the fortune—and the sex video that could destroy his career. If this naughty little tape should fall into the wrong hands, Romeo’s adoring fans would be in for one big surprise: He’s straight.

When Grant and Chase hear about the video (thanks to a notorious Hamptons’ gossip), it’s a no-brainer. All they have to do is steal the tape, blackmail the star, and collect the cash. But then, when they stupidly leave the video in a New York cab, the would-be crooks have to wheel and deal with a sleazy tabloid editor, a lesbian real estate agent, a kinky Internet stalker, and an alluring boy toy to finally get to the truth…behind not-so-straight lies."
