Brothers of the Desert presents 'Ruthless!' author Wyatt O'Brian Evans

So much of life is about stories:
The funny memories we tell friends;
The painful challenges we confide to a biological or chosen family member; and
The dreams we share with an intimate partner.
Among gay or same-gender-loving men of color, our stories are not often recorded. Well, novelist Wyatt O'Brian Evans is changing the narrative.
Join Brothers of the Desert Board member (and host) Will Dean as he engages the author in conversation about his new novel, "Ruthless!," at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 26. It's Evans' fourth novel in a book series he created, "Nothing Can Tear Us Apart."
"Ruthless!" centers Wesley and Antonio, a monogamous couple of gay/same-gender-loving men of color, who face unique challenges that explore volatile family dynamics and intimate partner violence and abuse.
The conversation with Mr. Evans will be virtual, with an audience also gathered in-person at The Center to watch and participate. Come and enjoy the discussion and refreshments.
With co-sponsor Rainbow Advocacy Press's new virtual platform, we also expect virtual attendees from many other communities.
When: 5 p.m. Aug. 26, 2026 (Please RSVP by Aug. 21 to [email protected])
Admission: Free
Where: LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert, 1301 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs (Community Room 1).
