As funny, warm and sexy as its protagonist, Got til it's Gone is the first novel by Larry Duplechan in 15 years, and the fourth to feature his alter-ego Johnnie Ray, a gay black man. Johnnie Ray's now 48, still handsome, but looking down the short road to 50 with some dismay. In the midst of his mid-life crisis he falls for a much younger man with some serious daddy issues. A queer romantic comedy for the 21st century.
Before there were 'b-boys' or the down-low there was Johnnie Ray Rousseau--black, gay, proud and hot as a sidewalk in July! Well, he's back and steamy as ever, despite the Baby Boomer shadows lurking in the corners. This adventure is laugh-out-loud funny at the same time it's opening up your heart. Larry Duplechan is a story teller you'll want to curl up with.
