Rod Palmer
Rod Palmer retired in 1999 after the death of his long-time
partner. Always something of a loner, he worked most of his life as an investment
banker, a job he hated. During the '60s and '70s he wrote a number of
erotic gay novels which he never dared submit for publication.
When he met his partner and casually mentioned his writing,
his partner insisted on reading it. Impressed, his partner contacted a mainstream
book editor he knew who also, unknown to his employer, ran a small publishing
house specializing in gay erotic novels. It is not known how many of Rod
Palmer's novels were published in the two years before the sudden death of
the publisher and the closing of his company, since a different pen name
was used for each book
. With the original copyrights now reverted to the author,
GLB Publishers managed to track Mr. Palmer down and convince him to re-issue
the book now published as Familia Affair. In Sept. 2008 a new
XXX novel was released to GLB's e-book magazine
[ www.e-gaymag.com ]
in the XXX Section, Cross-Country
Cruisers, in seven different e-book formats.
