Produktbeschreibung
Die-hard traditional Texas is the backdrop where success and nonconformity cannot coexist for Bryan Hicks, an African-American divorced father of two kids, Lindsey, the athletic golden child, and Lance, the unorthodox queer thespian. Bryan's mother loves bragging to her high-society girlfriends about Bryan's accomplishments and promotion to VP at a large multinational oil/gas company. Bryan vigorously steers clear of conversations with his mother about who he is dating because Bryan has been secretly dating Nadia, a transgender woman. Cakewalk is autobiographical fiction based on Douglas Bell's past experiences. Bell speaks from an African-American heteronormative (privileged) cisgender voice to candidly expose the trauma of transphobia and homophobia. Bell wants to humanize the struggle of trans women to live on their terms. Bell asks us to believe in ourselves, trust in ourselves, and don't let society define who you are. There is enough courage within you to be the person you want to be.
Autorenporträt
I'm Douglas Bell, a fiction writer based in the bustling city of Houston, Texas. I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including the teachings of Buddha and the Dalai Lama, as well as the powerful storytelling of James Baldwin. Fun fact about me: I actually started my career with an engineering degree, but eventually pursued a business degree to fuel my passion for entrepreneurship and creativity. I started telling stories as a magician before launching my career as a writer. When I'm not writing, you can usually find me hitting the gym, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or staying up to date with the latest fashion trends. I also love to host friends and family for lively gatherings. My work often explores themes of social justice, and as an African American writer, I strive to bring diverse perspectives to the forefront.
