Being gay in a small town is rarely easy, even in idyllic Potter’s Mill, North Carolina. The fires are dwindling for long-term couple Brandt and Parker, sexy sheriff Jake can't find Mr. Right, and high school senior Shane longs for his first kiss and more. They all find Oliver, a captivating young man who appears in town alone one chilly morning. In an emotionally charged story filled with love and loss, guilt and forgiveness, Oliver confronts his past and in the process finds a family.
As in his prior works—Cherry Wine Kisses for Christmas and the Lake Fearless series—Wit Talcott captures the small-town lives of gay men and their friends with warmth and humor. In Finding Oliver, he turns up the heat but again creates a place you’ll want to visit, filled with characters you’ll want to know.

REVIEWS
“
Mr. Talcott has posited a complete universe, situated in and around a quiet lake. He has populated that environment with varied gay personae, ranging widely in age which draws us readers broadly into contact with various times, experiences and attitudes - from the Stonewall Era through the present day . . . . The stories are almost pastoral, and are sure to please the leisurely reader."
RAINBOW BOOK REVIEWS, LAKE FEARLESS: SUMMER STORIES
“
I have long been a fan of classical music performances, and often especially enjoy when a featured soloist, after the concluding applause, offers the audience several short, exciting solo encores. They leave that extra frisson of pleasure. Mr. Talcott's short stories seem quite to fill that bill. Bravo!"
RAINBOW BOOK REVIEWS, LAKE FEARLESS 2: BEDTIME STORIES
“
Such a marvelous ending to this Lake Fearless series. To appreciate all that's remembered by these men, young and old, the reader must read this complete series to experience the heart, the longing, and the family formed by each man. Each section encapsulates the experiences each couple lived through while at Lake Fearless for that special summer."
