    <![CDATA[1986. If David hadn't missed his train and if Rob hadn't been in the kitchen when his mother was baking a birthday cake, they might never have met.  Both found themselves sitting at the same table in the cafe on waterloo station and got talking. There was an instant rapport between them, despite their differences. David twenty eight with a good job and a house all to himself, Rob more than ten years younger and homeless. The solution to the latter seemed obvious...  But was David, who'd admitted his homosexuality when asked, just being a good Samaritan or were his motives suspect? And why had Rob left home?]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;You still think this is all about sex when it's not. It's about love.&quot;    Can Josh finally appreciate the difference between the two? Or will he be too late to save his relationship with the man of his dreams? Josh has to choose between cute, funny, innocent Sam, and Alex - handsome, charming, and a born heartbreaker.    All About Sex is a tender and sexy story, told with humour and compassion.      Praise for Jay Mandal:  &quot;My personal recommendation is this excellent book [The Dandelion Clock] by Jay Mandal. How two unlikely people finally unite is sensitively, humorously and believably related. An engrossing read.&quot; Sunday Express    &quot;[A Different Kind of Love] . sometimes funny, sometimes bitter-sweet . written with a good ear for dialogue . affirming and insightful.&quot; Gay Times]]>

    <![CDATA[Anyone who has ever loved - or wanted to love and be loved - will relish this book  <p>The Loss of Innocence continues the theme from Jay Mandal's earlier collection, A Different Kind of Love, of love found and, sometimes lost, together with the innocence of the people involved. Some of the stories are heart-warming, while others would break your heart. Jay writes with tenderness, humour, and compassion for his fellow man. Readers will identify and sympathise with the characters in this book.   <p>Here we have a collection of poignant short stories ranging from a two minute read to longer stories of ordinary people leading ordinary lives until they fall in love and their lives become, for a little while at least, extraordinary.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[A Different Kind of Love is a rare book, a collection of beautifully crafted love stories whose characters just happen to share the same sex. Although author Jay Mandal does explore the special difficulties encountered by gay men who fall in love, the anthology's main focus is upon unabashed romance. Character gender apart, the book is one of love and not of the political complaint or seedy sex so common of the genre.]]>
