About his book, “Virgin to the Life”

It is the depiction of a young man named Jason, coming into his own in terms of his sexuality. His parents have discovered the secret he has been trying to keep under wraps for so long. He decides that he must fend for himself after his parents confront him about his sexuality and show a side of themselves unfamiliar to him. Jason retreats inside of himself until he joins the military as a means to escape his family. Once he leaves the nest, he begins to seek like-minded individuals to befriend. He experiences his first gay night club, first gay pride, first love, deals with spirituality and religion on his own terms, and has to deal with the consequences that come with living in his truth.
