My Own Private Biscuit
By Dann Hazel
Toby enjoys a success beyond his wildest dreams: The first chair trumpeter with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. In New York, he earns a good living doing what he loves the most. Yet, he suffers from a nagging feeling that something is missing. The Manhattan lifestyle is great, but his romantic life consists mostly of Grindr hookups. A summer tour of the South finds Toby in Asheville, North Carolina—his childhood home and still the home of a certain high school crush. Abruptly, he stumbles on the news that this high-school crush is married to someone else. Then, yet another discovery: There just might be a glimmer of hope. But even if things work out between them, how can they blend two lives separated by a dozen years and seven hundred miles? Can Toby ever hope to claim his own private Biscuit?

Exclusive Excerpt:
Toby assumed his date would prove vacuous at best. That would have been okay. But his assumption was deconstructed quickly. In fact, both men were alumni of Columbia University. But while Toby majored in music with a concentration in brass, Ethan received his degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism just two years prior to Toby’s graduation. Another of Toby’s assumptions? Ethan picked journalism as a major because he thought it would be easy. Meanwhile, Ethan must be a server in one of New York’s prestigious restaurants while he coasted from one audition to another for a role on Broadway without any success at all. Toby couldn’t believe Ethan would be all that serious about journalism.
“You’ve been bitten by the acting bug, haven’t you? I mean, the Gere look and all.”
Ethan laughed at Toby’s misperception. “People keep telling me that—that I look like America’s hottest gigolo. Personally, I don’t see it. But they often ask in which show they can see my latest performance. When I tell them I don’t even care much for theater—I prefer reality, not fantasy or escapism; some people need it, I know, but it’s usually not for me—they express disbelief first, then disappointment. I’m a journalist, through and through. I love interpreting current events through the perspective of my keyboard.” Incredulously, Ethan shook his head. “I won’t deny it, though. I have been assigned to write reviews of plays and musicals. I know what’s at work on a subconscious level with the entertainment editor. The man’s gay, the editor immediately thinks of me; of course he’d know all about the stage.”
Relieved to discover substance in Ethan’s character, Toby began to present clues indicating his interest in taking their—acquaintance—to a different level. To the second floor, actually. Precisely where Ethan’s bedroom was located.
