Hi Jon,
I’m enjoying my “GSA Mondays” postings of topics for High School Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs to discuss, and I like how my blog, in addition to being a resource about all the books out there featuring Gay Teens, is becoming something of a “Virtual Gay-Straight Alliance Club.”

I’m honored to be featured in today’s video!

Thank you for spreading the word!

Thanks, Jon. That elevator pitch for “Escaping The Tiger” was a group effort. Glad to know we worked something out that hit a nerve. Appreciate you including me here.

And you pronounced “Manivong” correctly, as well as my main character, Vonlai (long i on second syllable). How did you manage that?
