The Song of Sir Rod the Long

In days of old, knights weren't just bold, they were downright outrageous! It's King Arthur's birthday, and Guinevere commands the Knights of the Round Table to tell her the story of Sir Rod the Long. Join the Queen as she hears the tale of this comely orphan boy and squire-school dropout as he searches for his missing boyfriend, the valiant Sir Bruce. Along the way his encounters include a handsome youth who makes war before love, a fierce vegetarian giant, and a lady wrestler from an all-woman commune. History is rewritten with a gay twist in the mock-translation of the recently discovered lavender manuscript. Sir Rod is a rowdy, ribald novel in verse; it's Camelot without the closet. Larry Howard is the author of The Lions' Den and Joe & the Show Queen. He lives in northern Nevada and Palm Springs, CA, and has never met a knight he didn't like.
