"I can't stop thinking of summer's end, the last summer with Henry."
Ansel Bennett is living up one last summer with his friends before they all go their separate ways. Hailing from a traditional town in Germany, not everyone in Ansel's group is as enamoured with the historic and frankly antiquated Quedlinburg and they seek escape into a modern world that is big enough to accept them. When Ansel uncovers a secret about his best friend and role model, Henry, it shatters the little serene pocket he had been living in and it's not long until he finds himself fleeing to his own paradise.
Mt. Fierté, a wintry academy locked away on the side of a mountain. Ansel accepts a music scholarship there in the hopes of pursuing his true calling as a DJ. More revelations threaten to shatter everything he knows and long-buried feelings for the same sex resurface when new roommate Oscar enters the fray. But Oscar has eyes for another and before he can properly deal with that, old wounds reopen, threatening to steal a life of chasing boys and performing for millions.
Music will take him to the stars. If he can only hold onto them a little longer.
Beneath his elusive shades, a forest lies.
The first novel in the 'Faded Stars' Duology.

My Summer of Firsts
Summers in Arizona can be brutal. So can finding love in a small town when you aren't straight. At twenty-years-old, Steven has just about given up on the prospect. Instead, he saves his money, dreaming of the day when he can ditch his small town life for something more exciting. Preferably somewhere with guys who would actually be interested in dating him. But everything changes when a handsome new guy arrives in town and starts flirting with Steven. Being woefully inexperienced, Steven is excited-and equally nervous-by the opportunity to finally check some firsts off his list. Perhaps the one first he wasn't counting on will end up being the best of all.Complete
