About this Blog

Gay October is a Poetry cycle written by Edward C. Patterson, dedicated to my many friends chisen as family. These Autumnal pieces should usher in the season appropriately. Edward C. Patterson is the author of several Novels and Novellas, now available at www.dancaster.com/jotrans.htm. Gay October has been a web favorite on the site since 1996, having first been published in 1997 at vagranthollow, in the Best Part of Me Collection. This is the first time it is being made available in the blogs.
