From the Editorial
I'm honoured to present this novel by Mitch Hudson and PJ — Paisano ~ a dramatic and haunting tale of an alternate version of Due Souths third season, featuring P the relationship between Ray Vecchio and Benton Fraser. Which seems as good a time as any to let you know that there's barely even a mention of Ray Kowalski, which may or may not endear you to this story. In fact, while we're into warnings, I should mention that this novel will not suit all tastes — it includes graphic descriptions of violence and sexual abuse, and the results on the lives involved. I didn't always find it easy to work with such dark and confronting issues while I was editing, but I found the journey very satisfying — because the novel also focuses on love and on trust and on healing. Oh my, yes, it's certainly about an enduring love.
Disclaimer
The TV series Due South was created by Paul Haggis. Constable Benton Fraser was played by Paul Gross, and Detective Ray Vecchio by David Marciano. I mention these fine people to give them due credit, as they brought our favourite characters to life. None of us intend to imply through this zine that any of these people are queer, or that they intended the characters to be queer. And, of course, this zine is a non-profit-making endeavour that I hope would be considered fair use under the copyright laws, especially given that it doesn't infringe on any markets Alliance might want to exploit
Summary
From a distributor, Agent With Style:
A dramatic and haunting tale of an alternate version of Due South's third season, featuring the relationship between Ray Vecchio and Benton Fraser. There is some violence and sexual abuse, and the results on the lives involved, but the journey is satisfying because this novel focuses on love and trust and healing. Most of all, this tale is about an enduring love between two very worthy men.
