Overview: Nick Nolan was born in a suburb of Los Angeles, where he was employed for far too long in retail while working his way through college. After graduating with a degree in Psychology, he ran a residential treatment program for homeless and mentally disturbed gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender adolescents. He still lives in LA with his partner of 20 years and their beloved dogs.
Strings Attached – Adolescence is a hazardous way of life for 17-year-old Jeremy Tyler; his father died in a mysterious accident when he was a child, and his mother has since descended into alcoholic hell and forced rehab; that’s when he’s sent from the Fresno slums of his childhood to the posh estate of his overbearing great aunt Katherine and her censorious husband – liberated from an economic prison, only to land in an emotional one – and is overwhelmed by the change. It’s not easy for him to fit into the upper crust, particularly because he’s trying to hide how much he’s attracted to other boys. Jeremy’s story of breaking free from the strands of dishonesty, deceit, and self-doubt has its parallels to the tale of Pinocchio, but Nolan’s queer take is totally contemporary: think the TV series The OC – girls with mean cheekbones, well-built guys with snotty attitudes, and Jeremy in the role of a queer Ryan Atwood. He’s a good-looking kid, with a sleek swimmer’s physique – and the swim team’s champ is out to get him. He dates one of the smart-set girls in an attempt to keep his gay hormones at bay – but that doesn’t do him much good. Nolan’s debut novel is a kitchen sink of genres – coming of age, coming out, mystery, romance, erotica, even a dash of the supernatural – that add up to an impressive story about the passage from boyhood to manhood.
Double Bound – Named 2008 ‘Book of the Year’ by both ForeWord Magazine and ReaderViews, this adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk is a modern tale of passion, deception, and danger: Because of Katharine Tyler’s investment in a Brazilian island resort, she sends her handsome young nephew Jeremy with his lover Carlo to assess its progress. And though hunky ex-Marine Arthur Blauefee serves as their bodyguard, the trio strives against a charming trickster, sensual temptation, a kidnapping, and an unexpected double-cross, where Aunt Katharine plays puppet-master before getting tangled in her own strings. Although DOUBLE BOUND features the central characters from STRINGS ATTACHED, this is Arthur’s story: his heartbreaking youth, his precarious days as a gay US Marine, then his treacherous–and deliciously fulfilling–journey to Brazil, where he is challenged to heroism, while agonizing between his conscience, and his blistering desire for the one man he’s forbidden to love.
