On the eve of the best night of his life, winning an Academy
Award, Jonathan Bello thinks back to his one great love, David Star. Flipping
back the pages of time, Jonathan recalls his handsome, muscular, and
charismatic college roommate. Since Jonathan was a freshman and David a senior
in the Theatre Department, David took Jonathan under his wing and molded him,
not only as an actor but as a lover. With every wonderful new adventure, David
left his joyful mark on anyone with whom they came in contact, but Jonathan
soon uncovered David’s dark past, leading to a shocking event. Undaunted,
Jonathan celebrates the captivating man who will always hold a special place in
his heart.
Reviews for A SHOOTING STAR:
A
Bittersweet Dreams title: It's
an unfortunate truth: love doesn't always conquer all. Regardless of its
strength, sometimes fate intervenes, tragedy strikes, or forces conspire
against it. These stories of romance do not offer a traditional happy ending,
but the strong and enduring love will still touch your heart and maybe move you
to tears.

Cosentino brought just the right amount of humor, angst and honesty to make
this short but sweet coming of age story a success.” MM Good Book Reviews
