I'm a Sydney writer and I've just published my first book, The Lodger, That Summer
It's a gay coming-of-age story told from multiple perspectives. In this book, four men act on new sexual desires, and doing so helps them clarify who they are, who they want to be, and perhaps even what they stand for. (A warning: It's quite explicit but not gratuitously so, and there's no violence).
Looking for a local readership - at the moment, it seems all my readers are mostly in the US. If you're planning to review it, happy to send you a copy (it's also on Kindle Unlimited).
I also review other works (LGBTQ authors mostly) and will try to focus on local writers in the coming weeks. Lovely to meet you all,

• "The Lodger, That Summer is Mr. Huxton's first published work. While brief in length, it is intellectually challenging and shows great promise for the future." - Rainbow Book Reviews • "Refreshing and beautifully written, while gritty and erotic at the same time." - Reviews by Amos Lassen • "You know those books you like so much you can't stop? This was a book I enjoyed so much I had to stop reading to make it last longer..." - Pierre, France (Goodreads) • "It's beautifully written and the prose just flows, a most enjoyable story. There's something about it that will stick with me for a long time." - Ed, USA (Goodreads)
It’s a hot summer Down Under and everyone’s got sex on the mind.
Eighteen year-old James has had a tough year. Having lost his mom to cancer and fought through grief to finish high school, he’s now got secret desires to contend with.
It’s Christmas in Sydney, and he’s ready to cast his worries aside for the summer holidays, a time of poolside parties, bush walks and ocean swims.
But who is the seductive young man who’s moved into the spare room?
In this explicit coming-of-age novella, James and the men around him discover transformative new desires with the power to up-end lives or, possibly, unlock a brighter future.
