Digital drawing of two men and a dog snuggling on a sofa. Text reads, “Unconditional love seems like such a simple thing to ask of the world. The most human of rights. Yet, it remains such a luxury that it’s almost overwhelming when it reveals itself to us in its purest form – when we’ve hit our darkest depths, and it reaches in and illuminates.”

After nearly 20 years, it seemed nothing could stand in their way. But when their world was upended by a death in the family, a mental health crisis, and a failed adoption all in one year, they reached their breaking point. Adam wanted space. Now faced with life apart, they must conquer their own challenges to see if they can find their way back to each other. English professor Adam turns to alcohol to cope. He quickly finds himself embroiled in a downward spiral that will force him to confront harsh truths about himself and face his estranged family. Did he make a mistake when he walked away? And when he hits rock bottom, can he claw his way back and rebuild the bridges he’s burned? Former attorney Mark is caught in the vice of a new OCD diagnosis and fighting to find the proper balance of treatment in hopes of reclaiming his old life. But when he meets Grayson, the charming owner of the diner up the road who sympathizes with his mental health ordeal in a way Adam didn’t, will he still want it back? Or will he choose a new beginning? “
Mark and Grayson’s love story is about meeting each other in the dark and learning to walk through and out of it together.
Meet them January 31 in my new novel, “A Gay Man’s Guide to Divorce”.
