Robbie Whyte publishes Touched by a Rainbow

Touched by a Rainbow is the second set of short story collections.

Nine stories showing the diversity of life and problems faced by people everyday across the spectrum. For those who are GLBT, life is not a never-ending party, Erasure concerts and hedonistic shopping. Day to day is much the same as everyone else. But, like everyone else, there are moments!

Lars is certainly different. Coming to terms with many changes in his life. And Harrison isn't sure where he came from but is sure where his future lies. For Simon and Joe the future is less certain.

Life throws us curve-balls and for our Rainbow characters some episodes are somewhat surreal, a little more fabulous and, at times, a bit . . . different.
