About the Author:

Dorien Grey is the pen-name and alter ego of a former book and magazine editor now living in a remote and time-warped area of the upper mid-west. While working for a large publishing house in Los Angeles, Dorien was instrumental in establishing a division exclusively for the publication of gay paperbacks and magazines, of which he became editor. He moved on to edit a leading L.A. based international gay men's magazine. Dorien left Los Angeles for the mid-west to pursue his dream of opening a bed and breakfast and starting a literary service to work with writers through the mail. ("Beware of your dreams," he cautions.) He currently devotes his energies to writing, and has two novels and a book of poetry in the works.

Review:

Extends a glimpse inside the mind of an obsessed individual that will clinch you tight beginning to end. - hollingshead -- The Bookdragon Review

Grey left me gasping with surprise. A little gay sex, ambience of drag shows, accurate depictions of love. -Jay Hartman -- KnowBetter.com

Just as intriguing as "Murder She Wrote" and our sleuth is as much fun as Columbo and gayer than Selleck. -- Stonewall News Northwest

The Butcher's Son has several stories running concurrently that mesh well, and has an astonishing ending. Five stars! -Beth Anderson -- Beth Anderson
