A Collision in Quebec (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

On his way to meet friends at Winter Carnival in Quebec City, Brian wrecks his car in a snowstorm. The incident precipitates an interesting collision of cultures - Brian's gay secular world - and the conservative Muslim one of the garage owners in Sherbrooke. One of the owners agrees to drive Brian to Quebec City only to get stranded with him as the winter storm intensifies. Later in the week, the owner's handsome nephew, Omar, delivers Brian's car. Omar and Brian experience instant sexual attraction, setting in motion a chain reaction of passion, self-discovery, and international intrigue linking Quebec, Morocco, and Boston. Will Omar sacrifice his own sexual identity for a lucrative job in Morocco? Can he evade the sentinels of Islamic tradition as he seeks to balance career and passion? Brian faces his own demons as he finds himself drawn to Omar. Can he trust love again? How does he extract himself from a curious encounter with US intelligence? Can Brian and Omar cross borders or will they remain entrenched in vastly different worlds, repeating history? And can those dissimilar worlds shift to welcome new paradigms of love and family? This fast-paced and erotically charged romance weaves together rich descriptions of Quebec, Boston, and Morocco. The characters mirror our own age as they seek to forge a new culture of inclusion and respect. The story offers a glimpse into colliding worlds and the transformation that ensues.

Autor

Michael Hartwig is a Boston and Provincetown-based author of LGBTQ fiction. Hartwig is an accomplished professor of religion and ethics as well as an established artist. His original oil paintings are represented by On Center Gallery in Provincetown.

Hartwig grew up in Dallas but spread his wings early on living in Rome for five years, moving to New England later, and then working in the area of educational travel to the Middle East and Europe.

His fiction weaves together his interest in LGBTQ studies, ethics, religion, art, languages, and travel. The books are set in international venues. They include rich local descriptions and are peppered with the local language. Characters grapple not only with their own gender and sexuality but with prevailing paradigms of sexuality and family in the world around them.

Hartwig has a facility for fast-paced plots that transport readers to other worlds. They are romantic and steamy as well as thoughtful and engaging. Hartwig imagines rich characters who are at crossroads in their lives. In many instances, these crossroads mirror cultural ones. There's plenty of sexual tension to keep readers on the edge of their seats, but the stories are enriched by broader considerations historical, cultural, and philosophical.
