About the Book

Hollywood fixer Aaron Touissant has spent years protecting the secrets of Skyline Studios and keeping its stars safely hidden in the closet. But after the death of Xavier C. Barlow — the studio’s charismatic young Black leading man — Aaron is finally ready to reveal the truth.

There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood is a sweeping and emotional journey through queer Black Hollywood history, exposing the dangerous machinery behind fame, image, and survival.

Capacity is limited. Early purchase strongly encouraged.
