Tuesdays are the days I
showcase my own work on this blog. Today, I’d like to announce that my latest
novel, First Exposure, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.
This story is loosely based
on events I experienced while serving in the US Navy. I became the target of
homophobia when I took a second job working in a gay-owned florist.
Blurb:
Straight, married Petty Officer Second Class Skyler Thompson
battles homophobia from his navy buddies, the military, and his wife when he
takes a job creating flower arrangements at a gay-owned florist. But rather
than yield to pressure and quit, he refuses to give up the joy of creating
beautiful arrangements, battling homophobia for artistic expression. His dream
is to leave the navy and open his own florist shop.
Ezra Dumphy—his shipmates call him Dumpy because of his
obesity—is a gay sailor who likes to dress in drag. He is shunned by his
shipmates, tragically lonely, and uses drugs to cope with his solitude. What he
wants more than anything is someone to share his life with.
Can
these two men, opposites in every way, help each other achieve their dreams?
