About the Book

What is the difference between friendship and love? How does one know when it has shaded over like a dandelion from the sunny, yellow, early stages, into the "cloud" of love? Similarly, once one has decided that it is, in fact, love, how does one open up the door to that love, especially if it has been deemed somehow forbidden? Set in a small, college town in 1979, "The Dandelion Cloud" is the story of three friends: Kyle, Craig, and Justin. When Justin begins to sense that his feelings for his friend, Kyle, have shaded over into the arena of love, that knowledge will test the bonds of the three friends, and force Justin to confront once and for all exactly what he feels, and who he is. "The Dandelion Cloud" is a novel about friendships. It is a novel for anyone who has ever been in --or confused by -- love. **** Published by: OhBoy Books, Chicago, IL. **** Visit the author's website at: DaleBoyerWorks.com.

Published by: OhBoy Books, Chicago, IL January 19, 2016. **** EDITORIAL REVIEWS: "In THE DANDELION CLOUD, Dale Boyer takes us to another time, a reality both distant and near, and in doing so, allows us to consider not just one man's journey but also the journey we, as a society, have made. THE DANDELION CLOUD is more than a coming-out novel; it's a testament to the courage that can arise from confusion, to the paths that sometimes wait, masked by our darkest nights. Told in precise, lyrical language and embedded with imagery destined to linger, THE DANDELION CLOUD is a story of transcendence, honesty, and bravery." Curtis Smith, author of BEASTS AND MEN and COMMUNION. **** "Dale Boyer's debut novel dives deep into the eternal questions: Who am I? What is love? What is friendship? THE DANDELION CLOUD is a joy to read. The beautiful prose often lifts off the page, much like the dandelion seeds Boyer describes to great effect. Words take life in this book. Tenderness lives in these pages." Michael Kiesow Moore, author of WHAT TO PRAY FOR. **** "Boyer employs...some rather stunning metaphors...I believe with his future writing, Dale Boyer will be our own Donna Tartt." Joe Franco, The Windy City Times **** From the American Library Association's review of The Dandelion Cloud: " THE DANDELION CLOUD ...is a modern bildungsroman (German for a novel about a young person's formative years)... [It] is a novel of literary quality, told in the third person with a high level of skill and compassion...[It] is about a young man's slow discovery of who he is, with help from two loving but straight friends...described with finesse and delicacy... This is Boyer's debut novel, so he is someone to watch out for for further development. Highly recommended for collections of contemporary gay fiction and for individuals who value literary quality writing." James Doig Anderson Professor Emeritus of Library and Information Science, Rutgers University.
