The Grass Sweeper God by Doug Howery

smileySixteen-year-old Smiley Hanlon is a young woman trapped in a young man’s body. In the 1950’s Appalachia coal fields of Solitude, Virginia, Smiley is placed in the “Mentally Retarded Class” because he is effeminate and wears a blouse and saddle shoes to school.

Smiley is backed by his best friend, Lee Moore who protects Smiley from a father and many townspeople who hate him. Smiley has dreams of becoming an entertainer. Raised by his aunt in a juke joint, as a child Smiley sings and dances on the Formica bar top into the wee hours. Chosen as the female lead, Dorothy, in a new town production called Dorothy of Oz Coal Camp, his dream is being realized. The triumph of the play and his dream is sabotaged by his father and classmate bullies culminating in a tragic and horrific moment that changes both Smiley and Lee, forever.

Smiley and Lee flee to NYC. They learn that prejudice is prejudice whether in the coal fields of Virginia or on the streets of NYC. Smiley suffers at the hands of his real mother who is a religious zealot. She tries to change who Smiley is because he is a boil on the body of Christ. Lee suffers at the hands of psychologists who practice Aversion Therapy-electric shock treatment to cure his homosexuality.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Both Smiley and Lee become forces of change as do countless others. In 1969, Smiley Hanlon and his friend, Lee emerge as leaders of a gay revolution, The Stonewall Riots. The riots are vicious but the real battle will be won or lost on another continent: Solitude, Virginia.

The Grass Sweeper God is a force of nature that flows through all things…straightens out that which is bent…which is sick…

 

Meet the Author

smileyDOUG HOWERY has been writing both fiction and essays since 1990. His essays and familial stories have appeared in The Blue Ridge Lambda Press.
In many of his stories, as in “The Grass Sweeper God,” Mr. Howery’s true lode, his font of inspiration is in the passion and suffering he has experienced.
Suspense author, Maggie Grace, with the North Carolina Writers’ Network writes about her cohort Mr. Howery: “What I like is the riskiness, the cutting edge of the narrative voice we hear. The moments when he lapses into descriptions of the moon, of the horse, etc. are true poetry that offers some relief from the coarseness of the story, and he places them well. He has an ear for the rhythm of the story, a natural sense of when to end–hangs fire with a new way of looking at someone or something, turning the entire chapter on its ear. I like the way he makes it impossible for the reader to stop reading at the end of the chapter.”
Mr. Howery lives in Virginia with his partner of 31 years where he is at work on his next novel.

Jim urges his wife to cheat with the older man, and Julie gives in, releasing a slutty side of herself she never imagined.

Turned on by his wife’s first reluctant adventure, Jim ‘loans’ her to the neighbor for the day, with the instructions that she ‘do whatever he wants.’ Julie agrees and completely gives herself over to being a slut, even risking pregnancy with this new man while her husband encourages her. She surprises herself at the emotions and urges unleashed by giving herself to a near stranger.

This story includes graphic descriptions of sex, as well as exploring the emotional and mental excitement of taboo relations.

About Peaches Dean

Peaches DeanPeaches loves to write about sexual adventures, whether similar to ones she has actually experienced or complete flights of (horny) fancy. While some of her stories are based upon her adventures, often embellished to fit her wicked memories, others are based upon her nearly-constant dreams and daydreams about sexual adventures.

She likes to focus on the emotional feelings, as well as the physical encounters, and truly believes that the best sex organ is your brain (although you DO need the other parts to make it happen!)

Please be sure to provide feedback and reviews on her work – this encourages her to write even more and bring her adventures to print for your enjoyment.
