    Author

    Roger Margason

    Rod Palmer is, not surprisingly, the pen name of a well known author of mainstream fiction who occasionally feels the need to let his healthy gay libido and vivid imagination run wild by writing no-holds-barred but "wholesome" (in that everything and everyone is of legal age, consensual, and there is no physical pain involved for anyone) gay erotica.

      A word, a smell, a sight, a sound

      can without warning

      throw an emotional switch

      to open the floodgates of memory.

      Powerful waves of feeling,

      of nostalgia, of longing and of loss

      rush through the dry riverbeds

      of the soul. And for a brief,
