Here's a preview of the cover for my new book, RICKY'S BUSINESS. It's a gay version of the l980's Tom Cruise movie, Risky Business. Although I made quite a few changes and set the story in present times, I tried to capture the same innocence the main character in the original movie had. Only this time I did it with two gay men, and the twist in the story is that Ricky lives in a suburban town in Northern New Jersey, where eighteen year old high school seniors do not have the freedom to admit they are gay, experience a normal adolescence, and enjoy the same youth experiences straight eighteen year old high school seniors have. And in light of the recent suicides among young gay people, I don't think I'm far off base. Besides, a lot of what I wrote was based on my own personal experience.
