WHAT REVIEWERS SAY ABOUT

’NATHAN BURGOINE

 

 

Faux Ho Ho

“The setup is simple: fake boyfriends for the holidays, started as a lie to get someone out of a dreaded family event, but snowballs into a more elaborate ruse. A tried-and-true formula really. But, Faux Ho Ho, ’Nathan Burgoine’s new holiday release, is anything but formulaic or contrived. The execution is original, and the story is an utter delight. It’s charming, fun, and sweet, everything a Christmas romance should be. And, it’s also a little bit nerdy! Which, in my book, is a bonus.”

The Novel Approach

 

 

Exit Plans for Teenage Freaks

“Burgoine (Of Echoes Born, 2018, etc.) has created a gay teen protagonist who is a bit goofy at times but who is comfortable in his own skin... Overall, a feel-good, contemporary read with strong LGBTQIAP rep and an unusual fantasy subplot.”

Kirkus Reviews

 

“READ THE BOOK. NOW. IT IS AMAZING.”

Book Princess Reviews

 

 

Of Echoes Born

“Burgoine assembles 12 queer supernatural tales, several of which interlock...
The best tales could easily stand alone; these include ‘The Finish,’ about an aging vintner whose erotic dalliance with a deaf young man named Dennis gets complicated, and ‘Struck,’ in which beleaguered bookstore clerk Chris meets Lightning Todd, who predicts his future wealth and romance. A pair of stories set in ‘the Village,’ a gay neighborhood, feature appealing characters and romances and could be components of a fine Tales of the City–like novel.”
