Sobre mimI'm an author writing books about gay teens.
My first book, A SECRET EDGE, is about a runner (Jason Peele) who falls for a boy from India and finds himself learning about Hindu philosophy, the concept of violence vs. non-violence, and figuring out that honesty and being true to oneself are his path to being happy.
My second book, THINKING STRAIGHT, tells the story of Taylor Adams, a Christian boy whose parents put him into a deprogramming center to straighten him out. He learns how to be true both to himself and to his religion, and the story has a very positive approach to this topic.
The only thing wrong with being gay is how some people treat you when they find out. Until everyone understands this, growing up gay — or even being grown up and gay — takes a lot of guts. Straight or gay, the objective should be acceptance. Tolerance is better than hatred, but who wants to be tolerated? Let's go for acceptance.

By the way, I really enjoyed your book. Surprisingly so, in fact. I bought it largely on a whim (in order to qualify for free shipping on amazon.co.jp) but also because I thought the premise held potential. Which, of course, it did. The reason for the surprise is that I wasn't expecting it to so intelligently written. It's always nice to read a book from an intelligent and capable teenager's POV.
I'm interested, did you write this novel primarily with the adult or the young adult reader in mind? Hopefully, this will be something discussed in October.
Regards,
Anne D.
