Downloading Blue Eyed Stranger (Trowchester Blues 2, 2nd Ed.)
So lost in history they can't focus on the present.
Billy Wright has a problem: he’s only visible when he’s wearing a mask. That’s fine when he’s performing at country fairs with the rest of his morris dancing troupe. But when he takes the paint off, his life is empty, and he struggles with crippling depression.
Martin Deng stands out from the crowd. There aren’t many black Vikings on the living history circuit. But as the founder of a fledgling historical re-enactment society, he’s lonely and harried. It’s stressful enough being one minority without telling the hard men of his group he’s also gay.
When Billy’s and Martin’s societies are double-booked at a packed county show, they know at once they are kindred spirits. But they’re both hiding in their different ways. Can they ever be brave enough to take the masks off, to let each other see who they really are inside?
