Valley of the Dudes

In this M/M homage to the classic novel, Valley of the Dolls, Lambda-winning author Ryan Fields introduces us to six talented young gay men searching for love and fame in the celebrity-fueled worlds of Broadway and Hollywood, and the pitfalls along the way that help them survive in this jungle of ecstasy and fortune.

Wide-eyed lawyer Rush Goodwin abandons his quaint New England life for the bright lights of New York City, where he meets singers/actors Cody and Anderson, and their partners, who are all just as young and innocent as he is. When Rush meets his new boss, handsome lawyer Lance Sharp, it's love at first sight and the beginning of a turbulent affair. As they fight for recognition, they pay the unexpected price for getting the fame they so desperately crave. Their lives are charmed in many ways, the secrets they keep hidden rule them, the sex never seems to end, and the gay lives they lead appear magical on the surface. However, beneath all the orgasms and glamour, are the addictions to alcohol, pills, and substances that help them survive. But sometimes, we learn from our mistakes, as we see Rush and Lance find their true selves when they let go and follow their hearts.
