Thine Own Self: A Coming Out Novel

At a time when coming out of the closet is chic, it is certainly not that way for Brad Archer. After a traumatic sexual encounter in high school, Brad now in college, is having trouble with romantic relationships. He has dates with girls that fail miserably and continues to have horrific nightmares about both his past and the fears for his future. Will the people he loves accept him or will his nightmares come true? Even his two best friends Chris and Laura can't seem to help him. Brad must learn again to trust himself and others so his journey in coming out can be realized. Sometimes tragic, often funny, it is all about Thine Own Self. "Heading back to my room, I feel an intense gripping in my stomach. It's an ache that I've felt for a long time, but it's worse now than ever before. The fear of confronting this elephant in the room of my life is so intense I want to vomit. I take some deep breaths as I slide my card through the slot and enter my room."
