RICHMOND WEST
New!!! Passionate and provocative, this novel, a spiritual and pathological journey, hits the issue of our society's sexual McCarthyism head-on, particularly as it manifests in "hostile environment" sexual "harassment" law. Lupe Diego, a lapsed Catholic philosophy professor with a feminine Spanish name, faces accusations after a relationship goes sour. Encountering gender prejudice along the way, plus faced with losing his career, Lupe struggles to find a renewed faith. Even as he sees gay friends fall under a wave of charges, when tyrannical sexual ideology rocks the campus....But Lupe pays a high price for opposing his society: in sinking into what is called "schizophrenia," Lupe finds that the greatest struggle may be for his own sanity.
I have even further information about myself and my writing, plus a blog.
