Best Laid Trap (3 page)

is a novelist, short story writer, anthologist, and editor. He began writing fifteen years ago the very second he got his first personal home computer, a very clunky and heavy HP, and hasn’t stopped writing since. To Rob, writing is like breathing: it’s something he must do and he does it with ease, with just the occasional hiccup, groan, or sharp exhale. He’s twice been nominated for a Lambda Literary Award and was the winner of the 2010 TLA Gaybie for Best Gay Fiction, the winner of the 2012 BEARy Award, and The Romance Studio’s 2012 CAPA Award finalist.

Sometimes letting go of an obsession leads to something better instead.

A twenty-five-year high school reunion is Conrad’s chance to finally come face-to-face with his unrequited love, Todd. Instead, he discovers he himself was an unrequited love for Gary, his friend from the chess club. When the two return to their old gym locker room, long-lost friends at last become found loves. As for Todd, well, let’s just say that karma can be quite the bitch.
