The short stories inBasic Butch by Andrews compare to many other of today's short stories like the contemporary TV channel shows would to the old Ozzie and Harriets of the 60's. Gay life of the 21st century has a freedom and range that leaves the details to each of us who participates, or in some cases becomes involved with. I suspect you will want to get involved with some of the characters Andrews bring to life. --Bill Lee, author

Andrews' stories are sensuous and disturbingly human. His genius rests in his rare ability to weave deplorable criminal acts such as murder and child abuse into erotic patchwork, and render the balance tragic poetry. Andrews exposes the monster in the mirror when all the trappings of civility are stripped bare. In his stories, you never see the dog standing in the road until you feel the bump rolling over it. He arouses and embarrasses and makes you squirm. A truly unique and darkly gifted writer. --Fredryk Traynor, author

Sweet is a writer who uses irony to create literary images with the deft skill of a cloisonné artist. Civilization, truth, history and love are examined under the diamond brightness of an Indian sun. --Ralph Higgins, Wayves Magazine.
