Tin Man Nuptials

It's Gerald's wedding night. He's just married James, but he doesn't feel the way he thought he would. His usual tactics of sex, drink, and drugs have failed to fill the void, and after his daddy issues lead him to misinterpret an offhand remark made by his estranged father, Gerald sets off on a night of self-sabotage, confronting the demons that have left him feeling emotionally detached his whole life. When Gerald does the unthinkable and meets up with his ex, he realizes he must confront his past, including the blame he feels for his parents' divorce, his guilt over his mother's death, and his belief that he is truly unlovable, to address his need for gratification and tendencies to act out. Only then can he heal his childhood trauma and feel true love. Tin Man Nuptials is an LGBT+ contemporary erotic romance, dealing with sexuality, addiction, the divide between gay and straight worlds, relationships between divorced parents and their children, and the importance of open communication and honesty in maintaining healthy relationships. With a no-holds-barred exploration of substance abuse and hypersexuality that exist as normalised within the gay community, Tin Man Nuptials uses a biting and dry narrative perspective to retain a lightness throughout.
