By William Poe

Winner, International Book Awards
Fiction: Gay & Lesbian

After ten years in the Unification Church, Simon Powell can no longer deny the truth that he is gay.

He returns to his family home in rural Arkansas hoping to reclaim the life he left behind. Instead, he finds an ailing father, a family divided by religion, and the rejection he once fled. After his father's death, Simon returns to Los Angeles determined to begin again.

As an international film distributor, Simon builds a life he never believed possible. But cocaine threatens to destroy everything he has achieved.

Then Simon meets Thad, a beautiful and troubled young man who seems to offer the love Simon has always wanted. Their volatile relationship draws them together even as addiction and jealousy threaten to tear them apart.

Simon Says is a candid novel about faith and disillusionment, gay identity, and the struggle to find what matters in life.
