"Michael Holloway Perronne touches the
heart of relationships and our fear of letting
go.  A Time Before Me takes you on a
whirlwind ride of first love and first regrets
set in the decadent French Quarter of New
Orleans.  This novel should be on your
must-read list."
- Greg Lilly author of "Fingering the Family
Jewels"

might be considered the tradition of
Southern male gay writers, with a setting as
deep in the South as you can get without
falling into the gulf."
-The Independent Gay Writer, March 2005

Love" and
