- Kort biografi
- Michael Jensen is the author of two gay historical fiction novels, Frontiers (Pocket Books 1999) and Firelands (Alyson, 2004). Frontiers was hailed as “...a breathtaking novel”...“racing narrative, high drama, vivid images, keen dialogue, even hot sex”...“the creation of a new genre...written with passion, wit, and a heart as big as the continent...”
Mr. Jensen is the co-founder of IGLOO, a gay and lesbian employee group that successfully fought to bring domestic employee benefits to the airline where he has worked as a flight attendant for fifteen years. In addition, Mr. Jensen also co-founded a successful gay and lesbian authors group that has brought together a diverse group of writers to help promote gay and lesbian fiction.
He is currently researching his next historical novel.
Mr. Jensen lives in Tacoma, Washington with another novelist, Brent Hartinger, his partner since 1992. [author's website]

This is a very well-written historical m/m romance, which is a genre I absolutely think we need more of in the world. We know that there were certainly LGBT people during these eras in history, but because they had to keep their lives hidden most of their stories are lost to us. I love the idea of thinking about what life may have been like and filling in those gaps with good stories just like this one.
This is the second book in a series, but there is no need to have read the first book to dive into this one--it can live as a stand-alone novel. I've not read the first book, and I had no problems understanding what was going on or following the story.
