Summary

With the name of Jesse Thomas Cromwell, he definitely belongs in the world of Renaissance Faires. Playing old instruments of yore and singing ballads and bawdy tunes puts him on stage. This is Jesse's favorite pastime, and things are going well until bagpiper James opens up a competition on a neighboring stage. Jesse becomes louder and bawdier until security comes and kicks him out.
Later James finds Jesse and apologizes for the ruckus. Together with a young lad whose faire gear was stolen and James's niece, or maybe now nephew, they hatch a plan to get back into the Ren Faire. There are signs James isn't altogether straight, but can Jesse answer that question in a satisfying way? Especially when they just might get thrown out of the faire again?

    As a Christmas gift to himself, interior designer Nick Dailey decides to fly to Southern Florida to watch his local NFL team play an away game. However, his last minute plans meant there was no room at any of the inns, forcing him to rent a room in a seedy motel.
    
    
    Nick's employee and best gal pal, Penny, had promised him a surprise gift. He's amazed when he discovers this is none other than a meeting with "Big Bad Brad" Williams, star defensive lineman for the Outlaws. Nick can't believe it when Brad asks if he can kiss Nick. Naturally Nick agrees. Pushing his luck, Nick asks to explore the big man's chocolate-colored skin, bulging muscles, and heavy tattoos.
    
    
    Things take a decided turn for the surreal when Brad strips naked and Nick is formally introduced to Brad's genitalia -- Buddy Johnson and Bill and Ben Balls. What follows is an afternoon of passion, wonder, and delight that Nick knows he won't ever forget.
    
    
    But when the encounter is over, unexpected and uncomfortable truths are revealed. How will Brad and Nick each handle their surprise gifts?

    Encounters With Men is a searching memoir as only Bob Ostertag could tell it. In these pages are a lifetime of intimacies and distances, moments with fathers and teachers, friends and lovers, soldiers, cops, and criminals— even one of the great mass murderers of the late twentieth century.
    
    
    Bob Ostertag writes of the men he has known in stories shot through with deep love and deep violence, sex often at the core. Here, we encounter the worst of the AIDS epidemic and the best of human behavior. Fittingly, the final encounter occurs exclusively online, a stark yet compelling portrait of the new sex work in the digital age.
    
    
    Like encounters with bears, except with men.
