For the first time, the best pieces of D. Travers Scott's celebrated short fiction from the past twenty years are gathered together. Love Hard collects work originally appearing in award-winning anthologies, underground queer 'zines, erotica magazines, and live performance, along with new stories never before published. Together, they offer the first comprehensive overview of Scott's ongoing explorations of masculinity, sexuality, cities, family, love, and the power of writing. All stories are newly revised for this collection.

For over two decades, D. Travers Scott has worked as a writer, critic, and artist, appearing everywhere from underground 'zines to Harper's and This American Life. He is author of two novels: the internationally acclaimed Execution, Texas: 1987 and the Lambda Literary Award winner, One of these Things is Not Like the Other. After many years in the advertising industry, he is currently completing a PhD at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California. He and his husband live in Los Angeles.
