Welcome to Lavender Skies, the over-the-top Palm Springs, California trailer park where every home is an homage to a classic Hollywood film (everything from “Gone With the Wind” to “Beach Blanket Bingo”) and the residents – mostly men and mostly gay –(surprise! surprise!) are as outrageous as their trailers. Where else but Lavender Skies could an innocent rube like Wayne (“Beach Blanket Bingo”) Fontaine mingle with the likes of notorious mobster Ginger (“Roman Holiday”) Biscotti, over-the-hill Hollywood heart-throb Mars (“Viva, Palm Springs!”) Wagner and a ridiculously over-tattooed and over-sexed marine, Ulysses S. (“The Green Berets”) Ackerman? Where else could sedate afternoon sex orgies, clandestine love affairs, an outrageous real estate scam, an appalling 87-year-old Follies showgirl, a Mafia murder and one super-star outing converge in a movie premiere the likes of which even Hollywood never saw before? Sometimes uproarious, generally outrageous, and totally page-turning, Lavender Skies is a fun read in the tradition of E.F. Benson and Armistead Maupin (…or if you’re not the literary type, it’s like “The Golden Girls” and “The Nanny” were gay guys).

In 1972, there were 371,366 dependents of military personnel living overseas, people who spent their childhoods in a world that stops promptly at 5:00 in the afternoon to pay homage to the flag; where everything is painted in shades of green, and “hometowns” are places that only exist on television. The Brat Chronicles reflects the experiences of these thousands of Americans who fought the good fight, not on the field of battle, but in living rooms of military housing around the world.
