Several years ago, my best friend introduced me to Chris Hunt, the author of several gay historicals published in the 1980s. I was put off by the cover, but I was so wrong--"Street Lavender" not only turned out to be a beautiful book, but it actually changed me as a person. That doesn't often happen to me from merely reading a book (I guess I'm too stubborn).
More than anything, I'd like to find other things he's written since--I have a hard time believing someone that talented just stopped writing entirely. If he's dead, I'd at least like to know. The publisher for the titles I know of is out of business (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Men's_Press), and if Chris Hunt isn't a pseudonym, it's certainly difficult to track him.
I thought I'd asked on here before, but a search of the site doesn't turn up his name or the name of the book, so I figured I'd try. If anyone has any information on what happened to this author and whether or not it's possible to buy more of his work or send him fan letters, please let me know!
