Bury your gays (Titan Books)

Misha is a jaded scriptwriter working in Hollywood, and he's seen it all. All the toxic personalities and coverups, the structural obstructions to reform, even dead actors brought back to screen aby CGI and finally, maybe, the hint of change.

But having just been nominated for his first Oscar, Misha is pressured żeby his producers to kill off a gay character in the upcoming season finale "for the algorithm" on the same day he witnesses to gruesome death-by-piano of treasured animator (and notorious creep) Raymond Nelson.

Success, it seems, isn't the answer to everything. With the help of his best friend and paranoid database queen, Tara, and his boyfriend, Zeke, Misha has face down his traumatic childhood and past mistakes.

But in a paranoid industry that thinks nothing of killing off talent, it's not so simple to find a way to do what's right.
