A. C . Burch
Award-winning Author of The HomePort Journals and A Book of Revelations, A. C. Burch is a long-time Provincetown resident who spent his early summers on Cape Cod. His first visit to Provincetown sparked a romance with the town and forged a love of the sea that continues to this day—most summer days will find him sailing on Cape Cod Bay.
Author’s Statement
“I’m fascinated by the variety and energy of the LGBTQ community and often write of what Armistead Maupin calls “the logical family.” The family we create for ourselves.
My literary icons run the gamut from Agatha Christie to Walter Mosely, Patrick Dennis to Armistead Maupin, and Jane Austin to Bart Yates. From my earliest memory, I have been inextricably drawn to outré characters who poke fun from the outer edge. When pressed, I also admit a weakness for faded glamor. “Little Edie” Beale of Grey Gardens and Norma Desmond of Sunset Boulevard are particular favorites.
My most recent book is entitled A Book of Revelations. It was an International Press Award “Distinguished Favorite” for 2017. My debut novel was The HomePort Journals, set in my hometown of Provincetown, Massachusetts. A resident since 1987, I write in a small shed just a stone’s throw from my house. Dori, an amazing Golden Retriever who has turned tables on the pet/master relationship, makes sure I get out for long walks every day. I frequently post pictures from our walks, which can be seen on Instagram.“
When not splitting wood for my vintage woodstove, A. C. split’s his time between Provincetown and South Beach.
