#TBT Ah, #Pride memories… #Chicago 1999, lining up for the parade with some conventional corporate types I called friends. We may have had a wee spot to drink. We may have danced in the street to Ricky Martin. That’s me in the #leather harness, in case you couldn’t place me.

#TBT #Chicago 1996, a pal captured this pic of me before heading to the Congress Hotel, where the International Mr. Leather competition, aka #IML, was in full swing (& I was probably looking to get into some trouble). Today, I'm #grateful for sordid, youthful magic moments.

19 miles in an hour and a half. It was a great afternoon for a bike ride on the #CVLink. #cycling #sunshineonmyshoulders

Today, it was 17.3 miles #cycling in an hour and 15 minutes. Someone asked me if I meditate. These rides are my #meditation. The peddling, the wide-open sky, the sun, & the breeze on my face are all calming and centering...and isn't that what meditation is supposed to do?

As the year comes to a close, I’m thinking of my semi-autobiographical #comingout story, UNRAVELING. It was painful to write, but think it showcases the power of love...for others and for yourself. #ownvoices #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA2020 amazon.com/gp/product/B083D7…

A moment that never gets old! Since my 1st novel OBSESSED was released from Dell in 1991, receiving a #book with my name on the cover has never been less than a giant thrill. It's a dream made real. Get your copy: amazon.com/Jealous-Clouds-Gr… #amwriting #thriller #suspense #LGBTQ

The things I'm unearthing as I open old boxes that were in the garage and untouched for years! Here I am, around 1979 at my alma mater, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, still a smooth baby at 20. #FBF
