Brent: The Heart Reader

by Wynn Wagner

Overview

Brent is a tarot reader, a young man whose adopted family doesn't like tarot readers or gays or Swedes or anything else that Brent can bring to the discussion. One of his tarot readings is for a young Sioux man, and that's where Brent's old life stops. Brent's finds a whole new life that is full of wonder and adventure, as he learns to read his own heart first.

Viking meets Sioux - fireworks.

BRENT: THE HEART READER is the tender and sexy story of self-awareness and acceptance as this wounded healer lets himself fall in love with a wonderfulman.

"Retired archbishop: I get that. I even can see how you might write gay fiction. It's a niche, but I can see it. Bestseller on top of everything else: mazel tov. Explicit, which is cool. Now you know tarot? The hell? Dude, pick a lane."
Parker B. Olsson

About the Author

WYNN WAGNER now has an honest-to-gosh dad-gum mother-in-law named Rita. He and his husband - Rick Wagner - were married in Washington DC,after shacking up since the 1990s. Before the marriage, both their last names were Wagner. Nevertheless, Wynn announced that he was taking Rick's lastname.

They were also married in the Old Catholic Church.Texas doesn't recognize the civil marriage because it sanctions marriage apartheid at the expense ofpersonal rights. It doesn't recognize their church marriage because Texas does not accept religious liberty and other pesky rights itemized in the America'sconstitution.

Dr. Wagner holds a Th.D. from St. Wolbodo Theological Seminary. He also holds degrees from St. Alban Seminary and TCU.

Wynn - the son of Swedish nationals but adopted by an unsuspecting and otherwise innocent family in Fort Worth - has written numerous gay and spiritualbooks, including the Vamp Camp series,influential, Commitment Issues, A Pilgrim's Guide to the Old Catholic Church,andRecovering Catholic. He was theeditor of a hand full of liturgical texts currently in use around the world.

A retired archbishop writes explicit gay romance novels. It's a niche.

Years ago, he was a programmer who helped write the tax software used by some of the world's largest corporations. He also wrote Opus-CBCS, acomputer bulletin board system that was wildly popular in the 1980s. Opus generated millions of dollars for HIV and AIDS, back when almost nobody washelping fund research or caring for those suffering from the disease.

He wrote an article called "HIV: Day One" for those who have just learned they have HIV. It is considered one of the most widely read pieces for HIVpatients and has been translated into a dozen languages, including American Sign Language.

Before programming and writing, Wynn was a broadcaster in radio in Texas and New York. Before that, he was a pimply-faced kid who huffily and brazenlyignored his adopted grandmother's pleas to pay attention to semicolons and participle phrases because he might need them someday.

Wynn is a member of The Authors Guild and the Romans Writers of America.
