Ep: 145 Neil Plakcy and Brad Shreve discuss Neil's latest book Being John Church.  He typically writes novels with gay protagonists, but he also has his Golden Retriever Series, which is written for a broader audience. In Being John Church he has both a gay protagonist and a golden retriever.  He'll also share how you can win a prize to help him celebrate his 65th birthday.
