GLOVE PUPPET is a love story, an erotic gay novel, a confronting, sordid tale of chance, sex and manipulation. The narrator is Johnny/Vaslav, a world weary twenty year old who's seen more and done more than most boys his age. Raised by his drug addicted prostitute mother, Johnny knows only drugs and paid sex, violence and destitution. The seeds of his badness are planted in this urban English childhood. The death of his mother and a chance encounter with a stranger bring Johnny to Sydney where he becomes Vaslav, son of a prominent dancer and gay activist. But the fairytale turns awry as Johnny resfuses to be laid to rest and a forbidden love affair begins and ends - with tragic consequences.

Moralla, a fading seaside town on the 'beautifully uncivilised' Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, has won Australia's Tidy Towns award for two years running. Now Rebecca Moore--the most beautiful, talented girl in town--is dead and there's nothing tidy about it. It seems everyone in this sleepy hollow is breaking bad and something has to be done. Why was she on the Princes Highway at four a.m.? What could have lured her there and how will the town cope with the series of events set in motion by her shocking departure? When the maverick foundation Rural Liberties sets up unconventional sexual retreats on Moralla's fringes and TV's longest-running reality show recruits the town's number two beauty, the stage is set for one of the most diabolical and outrageous coups ever. If what happens in Moralla stays in Moralla, then what will the new arrivals bring and what will they leave behind? Rebecca is watching from the wings as the town's moral compass goes haywire and a bold new era of debauchery and enlightenment is set to begin.

Johnny, ein siebenjähriger Junge, dessen Leben durch die Drogenabhängigkeit seiner Mutter erschüttert wird, findet Zuflucht bei einem Fremden. Er wächst in der Obhut eines prominenten schwulen Tänzers auf, doch eine gefährliche Liebesaffäre bringt sein neues Leben aus der Bahn.
