- Wynn Wagner and his husband, Rick Wagner, live in Dallas. Texas doesn’t recognize their marriage, even though it was done by an ordained and licensed priest in a legitimate Old Catholic Church during a church-approved Nuptial Mass. God recognizes the marriage even if the state doesn’t.
“Texas versus God,” Wynn says. “I pick God, since Texas has unconstitutional laws that illegally restrict the free exercise of my religion.”
Wynn is the author of several other books, including Vamp Camp, influential, Recovering Catholic, and A Pilgrim’s Guide to the Old Catholic Church, and others. Before that, he was a programmer who helped write the tax software used by some of the world’s largest corporations. He also wrote Opus-CBCS, a computer bulletin board system that was wildly popular in the 1980s. Opus generated millions of dollars for HIV and AIDS, back when almost nobody was helping fund research or caring for those suffering from the disease. He also wrote a short piece called “HIV: Day One” for those who just learned they have HIV. You can find links to this and all his other works at www.WynnWagner.com
Before programming and writing, Wynn was in radio as a disc jockey and newscaster in Texas and in New York City. And before that, he was a pimply-faced teenager in Fort Worth.
The legendary novelist, Patricia Nell Warren, calls Wynn Wagner a “powerhouse in LGBT publishing.”

Twilight series this is not! Thank goodness someone has taken on the vampire trend, but in Vamp Camp, the love story is far from traditional. Not only does the love story take a more real world and contemporary approach, the writing style of Wynn Wagner is current. I highly approve this book. Can't wait to read the next book!

At first Brent seemed too odd to be true; now it’s true that I know people who are 100% in communication with their inner soul and living according to the same rules Brent is, but to my very grounded persona, it’s always difficult to admit they are real people. Not true, and I think Brent is a little bit a fictionalization of the same author.
Brent’s love interest is hunk Native American Takoda; perfect in everything, inside and outside, Takoda is a wet dream comes true, and he really loves Brent, from day one. Again, until last page, this sudden bond seemed rushed, and indeed I was thinking that Takoda was replacing his lost lover, another man with Swedish origin like Brent, with him, but again I was wrong, and everything was in the plan of God, the tarots, or the Sioux’s spiritual guides (it depends from whom is reading the signs). Sometime I wondered if some event had some deeper meaning, like the tale of the dollar bill and Brent's adopted ancestor, and the only explanation I could find was that everything was in a complex thread, nothing was superfluous.
I wanted to highlight the funny core of this story since I think it’s deliberate; sincerely, when I start this book I was not expecting it; on the contrary, from the blurb, I was ready for a little dark mood, a mourning hero, maybe even some tragedy. Nothing of that in this story, and while there is emotional involvement, everything is seen through the eyes of Brent, who manages to turn all of that in positive signs, and the outcome as well is more than positive.
