Mod Stories Book 1: New Dance Publisher Link Amazon Link ©2009, Ruadhan J McElroy ISBN: 1442180587 1982. Britain's Mod Revival era. Belfast, Northern Ireland. A club called Back Street. A record store. A coffeehouse. Gary "Gaz" Donaghue is home after almost five years in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Alice Reagan is helping her best girl friend open up a clothing boutique. Henri "Nino" Mitropoulos is in love. Jason "Ace Jace" Hanvey is gay. The Street Urchins have reformed with a new singer. Mods and Queers have gone together surprisingly well, and since the First Genners — like peanut butter and chocolate, sour mash whiskey and cola, or Rhythm and Blues. A coming-out-and-growing-up story filled with scene drama, film references, romance, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Book 2: Let Your Heart Dance (working title) On New Year's Eve 1983, Owain Shaunnessy and his long-time partner Colin Gow recall meeting and falling in love as well as the birth of Henri Mitropoulos and Henri's father's family. A light-hearted "Mods & Rockers" story that lacks any of the classic "versus" of the genre in favour of something far more scandalous in 1958.  ©2004-2009 - all original writing and artwork contained within this website is copyrighted and may not be used without the permission of the author.
