They're certainly getting better, and considering the high standard and huge popularity of his first, that's no mean feat. This isn't just a great piece of gay fiction. It's a great book, period." - Paul Burston, author of The Gay Divorcee"Sleight of Hand is novelist Nick Alexander's latest volume following the life of the now beloved character Mark. It is a tender,deeply moving portrait of what it means to be gay in the twenty-first century. Alexander has looked beyond stereotypical representations of sexuality, both gay and straight, to show us the infinite possibilities of what love, family and belonging truly mean. It re-imagines the boundaries of gay fiction and inspires us to re-evaluate our lives. A subtle, deeply moving examination of the ways we can re-imagine our lives." - Alex Hopkins, Out There magazine
