Minor Deities

By Edward D. Padilla

It starts out a perfect day until someone fires a gun at him, a trench-coated, slave-cap wearing menace starts stalking him, people begin terrorizing gay bars in his hometown, and the man he falls in love with is his best friend's straight brother. What more could go wrong? Within minutes of winning the conviction of Mark Valenti, don of Santos Muertos, Lawrence Michaels becomes a target of revenge. To escape death, Lawrence hesitantly joins his friends for a gay gala in Tyler. But Tyler isn't as welcoming as he remembers. Numerous gay men vanish, the judge hates him, and his boss expects him to begin another trial prosecuting a gay murderer. As the truth unfolds, Lawrence understands the hope for the gay community to thrive is for him to come out of the closet and become the one person he detests the most, his true self.
