As If Death Summoned will publish on World AIDS Day—and ties directly to the 40th anniversary of the acknowledged start of the AIDs Crisis. This novel will appeal to readers—male and female, gay/lesbian/straight who lived through the epidemic; as well as to those who know that it happened by haven't read stories about what it was really like on the front lines. The book addresses frightening and sad times but also shows the joy and wonderful lives that many HIV+ gay men were able to have.
