"Funny, poignant, unputdownable... Fast-paced, plotty and beautifully written, taking me to worlds I've never been to but now feel like I know." - Sarah E Laing, author of Mansfield and Me"A complex, poignant love story set in the intriguing (lost) world of 80s porn stars. Great, sympathetic characters and a compelling story." - Bianca Zander, author of The Predictions "In his literary debut, Ty Jacob's The End of Billy Knight takes readers on a rocky tale of unrequited desire, desperate quests for fulfillment, and everyday struggles for people working in nightlife and porn... But what makes it worth following goes beyond the steamy sex scenes and carnal gazes Jacob pens in vivid detail. At the heart of the novel lies an empathy with people typically seen as shallow, cold and unlovable." - Windy City Times"A ripping read... Once started I couldn't put it down... Billy and Sasha had a complex relationship, and it holds you enthralled all the way through." - Shane Dangerfield"I loved this novel... The two protagonists have been written with a clear-eyed love. They are real & complex, and weeks after finishing the novel, they are still resonating with me." - Susan Pearce, author of Acts of Love"Vivid storytelling, engaging characters, great visual descriptions, suspense and interesting character development make this book a must-read. Check out this well crafted first novel." - Andrew D Deppe"Lively, engaging, witty and 'out there', The End of Billy Knight manages to be both hilarious and poignant in its depiction of the (highly dysfunctional) relationship between an ageing drag queen and a hot young wannabe porn star. It's also a fascinating portrait of the US gay scene and the porn industry." - Caren Wilton, author of The Heart Sutra
