Pass Me By is a queer love story set in the memories of Ed, who, as a young man, toured with the outrageous glam rock band, Electric Vice in the 1970s. Thrown into a whirlwind of glam rock, heartache, and self-discovery, we learn what's at stake in the present as Ed's dementia progresses.

Pass Me By is a five-book series follows Ed, a reserved man dealing with dementia in a small northern Canadian town. As Ed's memory declines, he loses touch with the present and revisits a past he chose to forget. The first book, Gone Fishin' introduced us to Ed in the early stages of his diagnosis. The story used humour and melancholy in equal measure to explore Ed's deeply human struggle.

Returning to Ed's past in 1972, the second book brings us to a chance encounter between Ed and the charismatic, enigmatic, and androgynous Lou, frontman of the pulse pounding glam rock band, Electric Vice. Suddenly Ed delves into a world of mascara, weathered leather, platform heels and neon. Electric Vice takes place during the rise of glam rock in 1972, an era that pushed the boundaries of gender and sexuality in shaping one's identity. A whirlwind of glam rock, heartache, and self-discovery, Pass Me By: Electric Vice is a detour towards a deeper understanding of Ed and the memories at risk from his debilitating disease.
