Crying in the Rain - Second Edition - available now


Ten years ago (to the day), I released Crying in the Rain – a bi/gay love story (MM romance) and a stand-alone novel in the Hiding Behind The Couch universe.

Quotes by Debbie McGowan  (?)

“Married?” my mother said.
I was waiting for, “What, like Elton John?” or some such.
“Yes, Mum.”
“Well, I suppose that means you won’t catch AIDS.”
“Very true,” said I. “Wedding rings are more than adequate protection…”
Debbie McGowan, Checking Him Out

“What would she have made of her life in the absence of childbirth? Maybe no more than she did in its presence and to ponder such possibilities denies the value of motherhood.”
Debbie McGowan, Hiding Behind The Couch

“Hello,” he smiled warmly and his big, brown eyes twinkled. “I’m James. James Brown.”
“Nice one,” she giggled.
“Yes, my parents thought so too.”
“So, James Brown, how can I help you?”
“I think, perhaps, that it works in the opposite direction. I’m your new regional manager.”
“Ah,” Eleanor said, turning slightly pink. “And that probably wasn’t the best introduction!”
Debbie McGowan, Hiding Behind The Couch

“All penguins are the same below the surface, which I think is as perfect an analogy as we're likely to get for the futility of racism.”
Russell Brand, My Booky Wook

“I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time.”
Freddie Mercury


Focus on someone else’s problems for a change, I instructed myself. You need the practice.
From now on you’ll have to live in a world you didn’t make up. Horrible thought.”
