What Do You Want for Christmas?

New gay romantic fiction from Tim Bairstow:
What do you do when you fall in love with your girlfriend's, best friend's boyfriend. What about when you find that he feels the same way? As Christmas approaches in the drab, Northern Mill town where he lives, Mark Illingworth, whose image of himself in a relationship has hitherto been drawn exclusively from a TV aftershave advert, is about to find out as his life is turned upside down by his love for the handsome, charming and exciting Jonathan. They are both forced to answer the question: What do you want for Christmas?

At the same time, Jonathan's father is forced to confront demons of his own proving that the apple never falls far from the tree.

"Another great read! Well written with a strong romantic story line, compelling and believable characters plus some wonderfully written sex scenes covering the range from highly erotic to tragi-comic. What more could anyone want for Christmas ... or any other time of year?"

"What do you want fro Christmas?" is vividly evocative of the North of England in the 1980's: the shine of the wet streets in the orange street lamps, pizza houses with candles stuck in to old wine bottles that rank as a pretty impressive date when Christmas is just around the corner!"

"The two girlfriends are beautifully and sympathetically drawn and I found myself really engaged with their stories at the same time as rooting for the two boys to find a way to be together."

"With his gritty urban settings, strong characterisation and dry Northern humour, Tim Bairstow reminds me very strongly of the much loved Yorkshire authors of the 1960's: Keith Waterhouse, Stan Barstow and John Braine."

A gay romance that can be read equally well in July as in December!
