Little Boy Lost Series - Dedications

Little Boy Lost: Enlightened

This book is dedicated to the men and women, boys and girls, who have struggled all of their lives to stay true to themselves.

"As a #Gay person, you are an intention, not a mistake, you deserve the fullness of humanity including dignity & respect. You are Loved this day."

Little Boy Lost: Abandoned

"My head stays down as I walk into the school, as if an invisible string is keeping me from raising my head. I can hear the quiet whispers, almost like a soft breeze muttering as it blows past me, 'Rachel, we know.' I can hear the giggles and laughter that follow me around like the plague as I walk up the stairs, refusing to look around me, knowing that the eyes of everyone must be on me, and not wanting to look into their accusatory gaze and feel like I've done something wrong."

- Rachel, 18, Scotland

This book is dedicated to Rachel and to all of the other thousands of teenagers around the world who face constant brutalization and humiliation at the hands of their peers. It takes extraordinary courage to stay strong as your defenses are chipped away in little pieces by hatred and cruelty.

And to my friend Rachel - keep your head up and your back straight because one day soon the clouds will lift and the sun will shine again.

Little Boy Lost: Vanished

"A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow."

- William Shakespeare

This book is dedicated to the beautiful, intelligent, and kind men who bare their bodies and their souls for the entertainment of others. It is no small thing to rise above your own self-image and face the scrutiny of a world stage. So, to Devon Hunter, Kade, Trent Diesel, and the other models who generously assisted with the research and realism needed for this novel, I say thank you and I wish you every success and happiness.
