My Last Dance with Auntie Brie, Ron Naples' debut novel, is a gay erotic fictionalized memoir based on his coming out experiences in the '70s.

It is a vivid translation of a time when closet doors were nailed shut, but more than a vicissitude, it is also a peek back at the madness of the Disco Era. Raised an Italian Catholic, Ron escapes his disciplinary family life when he's introduced to his first gay bar.

There he meets Auntie Brie, a drag queen who shapes his destiny. His impending dream of becoming a professional musician is shattered when he is seduced into the gay party arena.

Feel the reverberations of the disco beat as Auntie Brie seduces you on to the dance floor. Revisit some of the infamous clubs of the day including NYC's Studio 54 and escape to the Cape on a summer vacation gone wild with one of Ptown's most prolific houseboys. His familiar tour de force reaches even farther with his insight and questions surrounding gay culture.

It delineates a 70's puritan society filled with fear and ignorance which ignited The 1979 March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights to end violence and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

My Last Dance with Auntie Brie defines an entire gay generation who succumbed to the hedonistic lifestyle of that time which has now become legendary.

It carries the universal message of unconditional love and acceptance; we all need somebody to love us just the way we are.
