Pivot - Coming in January 2015

My new book, Pivot, is coming January 25, 2015 from JMS Books. It has truly been a struggle to get this one done (for a variety of reasons), but it has been a labor of love. Here's a summary:

After being robbed and assaulted at gunpoint by a black man two years ago, white Chicago dentist Mark Cross is hesitant to go out at night, let alone get involved in an interracial relationship…until he meets Darren Nichols, a black public high school Spanish teacher and basketball coach. Introduced by mutual friends, Mark and Darren soon become a couple, fall in love, and eventually move in together. Despite pushback from their families and an ugly confrontation with Darren’s ex, Mark and Darren start to build a life together. Mark thinks everything is great until he meets Darren’s friend Terrance and suspects that Terrance is the same man who robbed and assaulted him. Mark’s suspicion throws his and Darren’s relationship into a tailspin and forces him to come to terms with his own racial prejudices.
