BURLY’S BIRTHDAY BASH
It has been a mere two years since the Burly boys started their cruisy, funky blokes‘ night. Since then they‘ve been offering the Scottish gay scene something new, fresh and exciting, and this month you can join a birthday bash which promises to be one of the wildest nights so far.
The line-up will include DJ Dave & Hifi Sean and the theme is construction gear, so seek out your hard hat and tool belt and dress to impress. It's certain to be a sell out so book your tickets fast, and ensure the birthday is celebrated in style.
I The Arches. Glasgow, Fr/ 8 Oct 8. 70.30pm—33m.

VIRGINIA SMITH
The Carradine Diary ' : 0...
Lesbian literature is something of a rarity compared with the plethora of publications catering for gay and bisexual men. All the more reason. then, to cheer the efforts of authors who plough this lonely field and sometimes produce work which exceeds all expectations.
The Carradine Diary. billed as a ‘gripping thriller about natural wilderness - and the wild nature of love', is a novel that deserves to put the L word on every reader‘s lips.
Virginia Smith's debut, The Rainmaker's Daughter. published last year, propelled her into the rankings of best newcomers.

the . carradlne dial
Tragically, just after finishing the first draft of this, her second novel. Smith
died in a car crash aged just 35.
This book is both epitaph and example, leaving us with the lingering promise of a talent cruelly cut short. A poetic, sensually—written thriller that will appeal to mystery lovers and followers of fine literary fiction, this novel
takes you on a suspense-filled voyage.
In many ways it replicates the theme (finding love in dangerous circumstances) introduced in The Rainmaker's Daughter, adopting a leisurely, descriptive prose before upping the pace and spooning on the tension. Abby Martin, a young graphic designer, lives with her partner Gayle in England. The domestic set-up is disrupted when Abby secures an assignment to illustrate a biography of the 19th century Canadian author Lucy Pritchard and travels across the world to the coastal town of Carradine, Canada.
Once there, Abby meets and falls for Elise, a sexy local French-Canadian whose grandmother claims to possess Pritchard's ancient Carradine diary, a journal which discloses an explosive, secret scandal. It transpires that the Lucy Pritchard revealed in the diary is not the same as the historical figure. As a result, Abby is forced not only to accept the unpalatable truth about the author‘s time in Carradine, but in doing so also to confront her very own truth. Far from home and enjoying illicit orgasms under the bedsheets with lovely museum guide Elise, she suffers a crisis of the heart. Where is her new life heading, and what manner of danger might there be lurking for her behind the thrilling facade that surrounds her?
