BIG LOVE Wins the Gold!



The Florida Authors & Publishers Association (FAPA) recently awarded Big Love its highest honor: the President's Book Award Winner for Romance for 2016 (Gold medal). I'm so honored and thrilled that this book, very near and dear to my heart, was singled out for the distinction. 

Books were selected by a panel of sixty five judges, which included educators, librarians, and publishing professionals. Go to the website to see all the winners. And congrats to my fellow honorees!

BLURB
Teacher Dane Bernard is a gentle giant, loved by all at Summitville High School. He has a beautiful wife, two kids, and an easy rapport with staff and students alike. But Dane has a secret, one he expects to keep hidden for the rest of his life—he’s gay.

But when he loses his wife, Dane finally confronts his attraction to men. And a new teacher, Seth Wolcott, immediately catches his eye. Seth himself is starting over, licking his wounds from a breakup. The last thing Seth wants is another relationship—but when he spies Dane on his first day at Summitville High, his attraction is immediate and electric.

As the two men enter into a dance of discovery and new love, they’re called upon to come to the aid of bullied gay student Truman Reid. Truman is out and proud, which not everyone at his small-town high school approves of. As the two men work to help Truman ignore the bullies and love himself without reservation, they all learn life-changing lessons about coming out, coming to terms, acceptance, heartbreak, and falling in love.
