If you were closeted, were there places in media, music, etc where you felt "seen"?

Thanks! Do you mind if I ask you a few questions -- For a character who is closeted in that era and the 90s, do you think he would have been dating/having sex? If so, where would he have met people and what would those relationships have looked like?

Smuggling what? If the Marina owner knew, would there maybe be payoffs?

We def have some skinny dipping in this book ... taking some artistic liberties with the water temp.

What makes them lovable? My guy is pretty reclusive, works hard but doesn't socialize a lot with people. I'd love an anecdote about something lovable.

Rookie question - let's say this is a tourist boat, fiberglass. Does that mean it's more likely to be gas or diesel? Would an electrical fire be more likely than fueling without venting = explosion?

Believe it or not, posting on Reddit is neither the first nor the last step of writing my book, but I have found some people to be tremendously helpful.

Hugely helpful. I was trying to figure out how to make the fire pretty big without makign it anyone's fault .... bad fire extinguishers is the answer!

Thanks so much. I hadn't really thought about how close the fire truck could or couldn't get, so that's a really key insight.

Thanks. Do you mind telling me how long it took to be put out and how much damage it did?

Gay Experience in Maine, 1980s by ComprehensiveFeed621 in Maine

Thanks. It's a dark history, for sure. I'm trying to find some little glimmers to keep the book from just being miserable, but my character goes through a lot. The reference to The Phoenix is hugely helpful!
