Produktbeschreibung

Book 3 of the "Gay Tales for the New Millennium" series

As Ryan Robertson begins college at UCLA, all he wants is to do well in his classes, make some friends, and enjoy his college experience.

But he soon learns that working in the adult entertainment industry to support himself and pay for college makes normalcy impossible. The scheduling demands of his profession rule out most extracurricular activities and require constant balancing with his classes. Worse, the reactions he encounters when people discover his livelihood make it difficult for him to build friendships or relationships. The elephant is simply too big for the room.

Ryan lives in a house near campus owned by Hal, a gay attorney. His housemates are Ted, a hunky Marine veteran with post-war baggage; Darnell, a fabulous Black drag queen with an amazing voice; and Ricky, a hard-partying porn star. This colorful crew, Ryan's family of choice, provides love and support as he navigates college life and adulthood. Their adventures add important dimensions to the story.

Ryan's heartwarming coming-of-age journey is filled with hilarity, drama, challenges, and growth. He discovers that sometimes, life's most important lessons are learned outside the classroom.

Open Books, Closed Sets continues the engaging stories introduced in Maybe Next Year and Instant Adult.

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].
