"The Czar of Wilton Drive," is the story of Jonathan Antonucci, a 21 year old, barely-out-the-closet gay man from suburban New York who overnight finds himself a multi-millionaire, thanks to a bequest by his late gay great uncle. Uncle Charlie has unexpectedly died of a heart attack, leaving him the sole owner of several of the most successful bars in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale’s gay ghetto, making Jonathan the Czar of Wilton Drive.
Flying down to Lauderdale to claim his bequest, Jon encounters Uncle Charlie’s dubious friends and business associates, and is immediately submerged in the underbelly of Lauderdale’s gay scene. He also discovers his great uncle’s memoirs which reveal truths not only about Jon’s own past but also what may have really happened to his uncle. In the end, Jon is torn between avenging Uncle Charlie’s death or loving the man responsible for it.

RP Andrews' latest work, “Ode To A Dying Dog,” is a cross between a gay “Odd Couple” and “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.” A drama, with comedic overtones, it's about two aging gay men, once longtime partners, now estranged, who reunite on the occasion of one of the men's dog dying. Over the three days that the play takes place, they grapple over the issues that led to the failure of their relationship. The play touches on a host of hot-button topics in contemporary gay life including relationships, infidelity, separation and living alone, narcissism, growing old, AIDS, drugs, May-December relationships, the sugar daddy syndrome, and of course the love of pets. During the course of the play, a number of the characters in each of these men's separate lives come alive on stage.
In addition, RP Andrews' erotic memoirs as a hirsute gay man as told through his experiences with the dozen iconic men in his life, "Furry Man's Journal" is a Kindle ebook on amazon.com.
