This novel is a breathtaking love story and an intense coming of age story that resembles no other book. John's narrative voice is one of the most unique in gay literature. Atom Heart John Beloved is literate, intimate, erotic, and delightful, delivering unexpected moments of grace.

Watersgreen House is an independent international book publisher with editorial staff in the UK and USA. One of our aims at Watersgreen House is to showcase same-sex affection in works by important gay and bisexual authors in ways which were not possible at the time the books were originally published. We also publish nonfiction, including textbooks, as well as contemporary fiction that is literary, unusual, and provocative.

Luke Hartwell always enjoyed books with the gay boy attracted to straight boy dynamic, and many of his stories deal with just that. Luke's first novel, currently available in a revised edition titled Memory and Madness, was widely praised and got the attention of William S. Burroughs. Luke's approach has been the Walt Whitman approach: revising and reissuing, not considering a work finished or permanently titled simply because it is published. Luke's work is being reissued in revised editions by Watersgreen House in 2018 along with new material.
