Produktbeschreibung

Book 2 in the "Gay Tales for the New Millennium" series.

In this engaging sequel to Maybe Next Year, 17-year-old Bryan suddenly finds himself on his own in Los Angeles, having narrowly escaped being sent to a gay conversion therapy camp by his fundamentalist father.

Luckily, he finds a room to rent in a house owned by a gay attorney near UCLA. His housemates are a fabulous Black drag queen with an amazing voice, a hard-partying porn star, and a hunky Marine veteran with post-war baggage. This colorful crew becomes Bryan's new family, supporting him as he navigates his new life as an openly gay high school senior who must support himself and somehow save for college.

Bryan struggles to fit in at his new high school, and he soon experiences homophobia and bullying. He befriends an out and proud Black lesbian named LaTanya, and together they inject fresh energy into the school's stagnant Gay-Straight Alliance and work to turn the school into a more welcoming place for LGBTQ+ students.

Along the way, Bryan learns how to deal with dating and sex, homesickness, financial challenges, and many other aspects of adulthood all while staying on the down-low to avoid being discovered and sent back to his religious, homophobic parents in Kansas.

Bryan's journey to becoming an Instant Adult is sometimes humorous and sometimes heartbreaking, but always compelling. You'll connect with the inherently lovable Bryan and cheer for him every step of the way.

Content advisory:
This book contains adult language and references to homophobia, bullying in schools, pornography, and same-sex sexual activities. It does not contain graphic sex scenes. If it was a movie, it would be rated R.

Autorenporträt

Dave Hughes is a leading authority on retirement lifestyle planning. He writes about retirement lifestyle planning on his website, RetireFabulously.com, and in his published books.

In 2016-2017, Dave was a regular contributor to US News' On Retirement blog. In 2017, RetireFabulously.com received the Best Senior Living Award from SeniorHomes.com as one of the top retirement blogs, by both reader polling and judge's selection. Dave was named one of NextAvenue.org's Top 50 Influencers in Aging for 2017.

Following a 34-year career as a software engineer, trainer, course developer, and manager, Dave accepted an early retirement package and retired at age 56.

During the final phase of his working career Dave began searching the Internet for information about what life in retirement is really like. He discovered that almost all of the retirement-related information was focused on the financial aspects of retirement. Relatively little was being written about how to live a happy, fulfilling life during retirement, and of that, practically nothing was being written from an LGBT perspective.

Dave created RetireFabulously.com to fill that void. Dave has extensively researched retirement lifestyle issues, as well as drawing upon his own experiences of transitioning into retirement and those of others.

Dave is an accomplished public speaker and workshop leader. He was active in Toastmasters International for over eight years, and earned Distinguished Toastmaster, that organization's highest honor. Dave offers a fun and engaging workshop, also called Retire Fabulously!, that brings to life many of the key messages from his website and his books.

In addition to writing articles for RetireFabulously.com and books about retirement lifestyle planning, Dave is musician who plays trombone, electric bass, and steel pan. Dave lives in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona with his husband Jeff and their dog Maynard.

Dave is available for interviews, speaking engagements, workshops, panel discussions, and writing guest articles. You may contact Dave at [e-mail].
