Hollywood, the mid-1960s. President Kennedy has been assassinated, the country's civil rights movement is in full swing, and teenager Nate Berrigan is a television sitcom star.
But Nate's onscreen life looks nothing like the real thing, which stars abusive, addicted parents instead of swooning teenage girls. On top of that, Nate's questioning his sexuality, and his boss is a demanding monster.
The pressure would get to anyone. Fortunately Nate has Tai Atua, his costar... and maybe the love of his life. As the boys slowly fall for each other, Nate tries to believe in the possibility of his own happiness. Tai could be his savior, pulling Nate away from the precarious knife-edge he's balancing on.
Of course, he could also be his undoing. Because if anyone finds out about their relationship, Nate's whole life will come crashing down around him. If that happened, Nate couldn't live with himself....
Russell J. Sanders is a man on a quest. In his travels all over the world, he searches out Mexican restaurants. A born and reared Texan, raised on Tex-Mex, he wants to try the enchiladas and other delicacies that pass for Mexican food in the far reaches of the world. He has been pleasantly surprised in Tokyo and Indonesia and left wondering in Rome and a few other places. Sometimes what the menu says and what you are served is not what is expected. But the joy is in the quest.
Russell's also on a quest to spread a very important message: love is found in many forms in this world, and being gay or lesbian or bisexual or any other variation is normal, healthy, and wonderful. He wants his novels to bolster the confidence of GLBTQ teens and change the minds or further educate all the others who may stumble upon his prose.
Russell's writing joins his long career of acting, singing, and teaching, adding to his passions for cooking and reading. He has won awards for his acting and directing and has taught theater to hundreds of teens. He has also taught additional thousands of teenagers the art of writing and the love for literature. He is always in the middle of a good story, whether reading it or writing it. And he can whip up a delicious meal in minutes. He does all this with the support of his husband, a man he has loved for over twenty years and married a few years ago. They are now transplanted in Las Vegas, Nevada. And to Russell's dismay, the Mexican food in Nevada is not too much to his liking!
