About the Book

LYONS AT THE GATE Further Adventures of Judge Joe Lyons Fresh off a reckless, injudicious, indiscreet, international romantic adventure (detailed in Lyons and Tigers and Bears) Judge Joe Lyons returns home to Boston to settle down and coast into retirement, peace and quiet. He hopes. The legal and Constitutional right of gay people to marry is being fought for in an elaborate chess game at the Statehouse and Courthouse on Beacon Hill in Boston, Joe Lyons' very neighborhood and workplace. While Joe is on a lark of his own (in the middle of the court day) at the Starbucks at the foot of Beacon Hill, Joe's fantasy, the forty something, sexy and sensible, classically chiseled, hirsute and beautiful, fourth grade teacher Angelo Bruno finds Joe Lyons and brings him romance, love passion and apparent stability. Despite this bliss, Joe still gets in trouble. Wicked Sam Nemesis, homophobe and judge hater, thinks that he has caught Joe lavender handed in a professional and personal scandal that, if true, would bring Joe down in a very public, humiliating and ugly way. With the help of his friends and colleagues the hapless Joe escapes disgrace---this time. However, he may have put himself back in hot water by the end of the story. The action in the book occurs mainly in Boston, but also in Fort Lauderdale, at a nude Beach near Miami, in Provincetown and at a gay commune elsewhere in Massachusetts. The book is handsomely illustrated with photographs and drawings.
