Summer - Prologue. A personal note...
The idea for this story began taking shape in my mind in January 2014. When a series of events left me in a deep depression in the middle of the year, writing gave me a reason to keep on living.
My wish was to create a world in which gay men could be themselves without regard to what others thought. This world does not represent the totality of the gay community―just a small slice with a higher than average testosterone level.
I also wanted a chance to spotlight some people I admire and to do what many people will consider preaching. Homophobia, political narrow-mindedness, religious intolerance, and bullying are behaviors I abhor with a passion and the story will, at times, reflect my feelings.
Along the way a few individuals read portions of the story while in process; their encouragement and support kept me writing and brought me to this point. My thanks to Pete, Dave in New Zealand, Ari in Los Angeles, Marc and Max in Australia, Rex, Gary, JoAnn, Scotty, Kitt and Dimwit. And my eternal gratitude to Mann Ramblings who helped me shape a bunch of words into a somewhat coherent tale. Do not blame him for faults you find in the manuscript; he’s only human after all.
I hope you come to love CJ and the gang as much as I have.
