Not Here, Not Now

"An Alex Jeffers collection presents a dilemma: Read the stories all at once, or parcel them out as occasional delights. The rich, evocative prose and startlingly imaginative storylines are often too tempting to resist consuming in one sitting. Fortunately, they bear repeated readings well, revealing new secrets with each visit." --Michael Thomas Ford, author of Lily

"Alex Jeffers's outstanding writing never fails to tear my heart open, then stitch it loosely back, more tender than before. The stories in this collection filled me with longing for more though they are all impeccably constructed. Each story is a micro world, a tiny universe in which the reader lives an entire life, emerging on the other side bewildered and bereft to discover they are once again just themselves and not an inhabitant of Jeffers's creations. I have found few escapes from the mundane better than his fiction and this collection is no exception." --Ajax Bell, author of the Queen City Boys novels

"Readers who want their gay stories sweepingly romantic and grandly placed will find this collection emotionally satisfying as well as very hot." - Publishers Weekly
