Celebrating Pride Month: Gold Coast, first gay leather bar 1958

America's first gay leather bar, the Gold Coast, opened in Chicago in 1958, by Dom Orejudos and Chuck Renslow.  Orejudos also became known by his pen name Etienne, who produced leather-themed gay male erotica.

Safe Word by Me!! - coming this summer!

My first short story to be published is being released this summer in loveyoudivine's His & His Kisses, an anthology of gay erotica!




The naked body of a young man is found as Provincetown prepares for Mates weekend, a popular leather gathering. The police suspect a random murder but Corey thinks it was an extreme bdsm scene that went beyond its limit. He tours the town’s dark dungeons, looking for a murderer preying on young men. He becomes immersed in the local scene and discovers a side of himself he never explored before. In a sea of muscular leather masters and slaves, he realizes hidden urges in an environment where every fantasy can be fulfilled. He must set aside his sadomasochism desires to locate someone who takes the bdsm to the extreme before he kills again. Can Corey find him before becoming a victim to the ultimate bdsm fantasy of execution?
