In Patient Zero, Richard A. McKay presents a carefully documented and sensitively written account of the life of Gaetan Dugas, a gay man whose skin cancer diagnosis in 1980 took on very different meanings as the HIV/AIDS epidemic developed - and who received widespread posthumous infamy when he was incorrectly identified as patient zero of the North American outbreak.

Daddy Samuel is a patient man, but that has nothing to do with why he wants his daughter's closest friend as his own. To him, Toby's quirks are part of his charm. Will he be able to convince the younger man how brave he is facing the world as his true self regardless of the negative voices in his head telling him he's broken? Welcome back to The Tap Tavern where there's booty-shaking in the kitchen, cuddling on the couch, and sometimes a boy just needs a little help to get out of his head.

A depressed eighteen-year-old boy discovers love when he agrees to help an old friend trick a bully by dressing as a woman. Jason's life has been hard since his father killed his mother, and the police killed his father. Forced to live with his aunt and move away from his friends, he spends his teens lonely and depressed. Bullied at school and at work, he writes compulsively in his notebook, sometimes planning suicide, sometimes planning violence. When his old friend Timmy reenters his life and asks him to dress as a woman to trick their childhood bully, Jason sees it as an opportunity to set things straight with the other bullies in his life as well, and he agrees to it. What he doesn't realize is that Timmy's not trying to trick a bully. It's Jason he's deceiving.
