D/s novelette featuring Gordon Trapp and Nathaniel Andrews.
In the early 1980’s Psychiatrist Gordon Trapp does the unthinkable and falls in love with a patient, bad enough in itself, but made worse because the patient in question is another man, Nathaniel Andrews. He makes the decision to leave his NHS post and set up in private practice in order to be with Nat. Before their relationship is able to get properly underway he has to go abroad for a while. He returns from his trip just before Christmas 1981, but Nat seems less than pleased to see him. Has his romance with Nat died in the bud? Not if Gordon has anything to do with it. He decides it's time to take the recalcitrant Nathaniel Andrews firmly in hand.
‘Out of Tune’ contains two stories about Nat and Gordon, both set at consecutive Christmases.

Author note
Gordon and Nat are favourite characters of mine, though that said I do tend to get rather attached to all my characters, which might not be a good thing. ;-) Out of Tune is actually a prequel. When I first began writing about Gordon and Nat it was at a much later stage in their lives. I wanted to give a fuller picture of things hinted at in the original stories and fill in their history. I hope to eventually bring to print the stories that inspired this prequel. Due to a computer disaster I lost some important chapters of this series and have yet to reconstruct them from the few written notes I have left to hand. In the later stories Gordon and Nat run an establishment called Hope House, it's a kind of refuge for social misfits.
As a teenager in the 1970's I was struggling with mental health issues and was one of those people whom the 'system' had given up on in many respects.
The Hope House stories loosely reflect some of my experiences from that time.
