A one-of-a-kind short story anthology from Stephen Mungarro, Life and Love brings together thirty riveting tales, each painting a different portrait of homosexual romance, and collectively forming a grand literary triumph for the author.

Leading off this collection is the modern-day drama “If I had Two Hearts”, which tells the unforgettable story of Ben and Paul, a gay couple whose relationship endures an acid test when the two lovers are separated geographically for a brief time— and a young, handsome 22-year-old stunner named Danny walks into their lives.

Another outstanding tale in this collection is the period epic “Frieda’s Boys”— an action-packed story about Frieda Bellflower a beautiful socialite/outlaw who leads a gang—composed of six gay men— that robs banks all over America in the 1940s. “Eddie and the Boxer”, tells the story of about Eddie Torrelli, a young boxer who ascends to fame and fortune with the help— and love— of a legendary boxer and boyhood idol, while “Mystic Kisses”, is a fantasy-thriller about Catarina and Svetlana, two defiant lesbian lovers from warring tribes in 1890 Romani.

The twenty-four other stories in this marvelous collection are equally unforgettable, making this book one knockout presentation from a surging novelist.
