After an abrupt encounter in a small woods of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, Reid Conniff, a shy and studious high school distance runner, becomes swept up in the adventurous world of Everett Forrester, a privileged and capricious charmer. Overcoming the distance of their separate schools, parental interference, and a nearly fatal accident, the two young men find a way to be together in spite of their own doubts and fears. Set in 1979-1980, Every Time I Think of You recalls a halcyon era in America's past with a personal voice.ReviewProvenzano also artfully works in the theme of nature to suggest hope for Everett's physical recovery, as well as, in a difficult moment in Reid's and his relationship, the recovery of love... Their love is a force of nature.- Dick Sharp, Lambda Literary Review"The romance, simple and pure, yet heated and passionate, is strikingly genuine. Furthermore, they're both likable, so much so that the reader can't help but cheer for them. Even the most jaded among us will experience a renewed faith in love and romance after reading it." - Christopher Verleger, Edge on the Net"There are so many levels of nuance to Provenzano's story. It's an exciting voyage of discovery, for them and for readers alike. When the story takes its more serious turn, Every Time I Think of You becomes a tale of heartbreak, courage, and healing. It's a remarkable, uplifting story." - David Alexander Nahmod, Bay Area Reporter"Every Time I Think of You opens readers' eyes, minds and hearts to corners of the world they may never have realized existed. It's not easy to write a novel about sports, gay teenagers and sex in (and out of) wheelchairs. Jim Provenzano has done it, with grace and power." - Dan Woog, syndicated columnist, The Outfield"Provenzano's characters are rich and complex. Provenzano's sense of pace and plotting are dead on, so things never drag, and his prose is straightforward and never showy. It's a well-told tale whose aim to inform as well as entertain certainly hits the mark." - Terry Wheeler, Out in Print From the Author"In my first novel, PINS, a sports accident is treated as more of a metaphoric experience," the author says. "In Every Time I Think of You, I wanted to more fully explore the aspect of permanent injury, but from the perspective of someone who's loved him beforehand. How does their relationship change? The difficulties they encounter are the story, not only because of what happens, but other peoples' expectations and interference in allowing them to be together, as well as their own doubts and fears."
