Me and the Lion's Den

My name is Daniel and I grew up gay in a small town called Matthews. It is buried somewhere deep in the rural south. Its population is 1,911. I have been abused, used, lied to, cheated on, stolen from,drugged,mugged, ignored,busted and lusted after. This book is about living in a small town and spending more than half my life in it. Growing up in the church to the parties I used to throw to the people in Matthews and the ones I would run into in Columbia. What some characters they were. I seem to be surrounded by prejudices and hypocrites everywhere I go. I have been run off jobs, had a run in with the FBI because of this book. They tried to do away with my First Amendment Right and that is the Freedom of Expression. It is a story I have written about my life in the small town of Matthews.
