Welcome to The Purple Bowtie Book

Lisa and Rachel explore their newfound love in Paris circa 1984.  Their romance is burning hot - a continuum of hidden masculine and feminine fantasies - stirred by their past lives. Their sexual creativity inspires them but they also face friends dying of AIDS, past infidelities and a common desire to leave their jobs and become artists.  But wait, has this all happened to them before?  Are their actions being guided by the ghosts they encounter in books from another time? Or does this guidance come from another source? Another place?

Inspired by a true story, The Purple Bowtie is in part a tribute to activists, like Dan Bradley, who took immediate action to warn the gay community about the threat of AIDS, who raised money for the cause, and who protested the lack of action by political leaders.  Their tireless campaign for gay rights and sexual freedom inspired the author to chronicle the issues  of 1980's Miami.
