My Worst Date (1996)
In Miami, where the sun always shines and the people are always fabulous, sixteen-year-old Hugo is ready for something more than school and hanging out. When he meets Glenn Elliot Paul, he thinks that, maybe, he had found something to look forward to. Hugo gets more than he bargained for, however, when he realizes that the man of his dreams is also dating his mother.
My Worst Date is a humorous and insightful novel--an innovative take on the traditional coming-of-age novel.

The Sex Squad (1998)
The author of My Worst Date (1996) now tells the engaging story of Harry Potter, son of a woman rendered semi-senseless by Moira Shearer in The Red Shoes. In thrall to her passion, she dragged Harry into the world of ballet, in which a part of him remains forever after. Doing rounds in 1989, Harry, now Dr. Potter, happens on suicidal, AIDS-stricken Siegfried Ilquist, once, with his perfect nose and sculpted lips, the most handsome man in New York. Leddick then flashes back to the 1950s. Siegfried and Harry both danced with the Metropolitan Opera and formed a volatile triangle with Rex Ames, who later became Harry's lover. The three danced together in a Met production of Aida as members of "the sex squad" --male dancers sufficiently, uh, developed to wear the tiny Aida costumes to best advantage. Leddick uses an in-group of both (in)famous and imaginary characters to recall a memorable era in New York culture. The mixed cast will especially please opera queens of all persuasions.

The Handsomest Man in the World (2004)
". . . a love that had no place in those suburban homes and shiny cars and kitchen appliances."
In the shadow of the 1954 hydrogen bomb tests on the Bikini atoll, two sailors begin a tender, passionate affair. Fred is a tall, blond enlisted man; William is his superior officer, and the love affair that blazes between them will carry them halfway around the world: to San Francisco, Manhattan, Fire Island, and Washington, DC.
The lovers learn, with fumbling hands and lips, how to satisfy one another, but the erotic heat of their sexual explorations is matched by the tension of their dangerous situation. Can their forbidden love withstand the relentless hostility of the Eisenhower years?
On the second night of endless talk he got up from his bed and came to lie across the foot of mine. I was nervous. Cold from nervousness. Cold from fear that some man was finally going to love me. Cold from fear of saying good-bye to a world that was entirely romantic fantasy and boyish sexual experimentation.
Fred pulled himself up beside me and took me in his arms. Very slowly our faces met. . . .
Vividly evoking the mood of a vanished era, this tender love story shows a side of the 1950s that few readers have ever seen. You'll never forget this witty, honest portrait of gay life in pre-Stonewall America.
