The Will - Paperback

by T. J. Johnson (Author)

Brett and Chase were complete opposites when they met and fell in love. Brett, tall and handsome, worked hard every day, never bounced a check, and continually looked towards a better future. Chase went from job to job, could not balance his checkbook, and did not think about the future. Brett loved watching Chase ramble on like a kid on maturity hold forever. He would not have changed a thing about Chase, and like many others, watching him dance with such pure frivolity and happiness, always brought a smile to his face, and joy to his heart. Their love exceeded their differences, and the ensuing painful tragedy created a stronger love and deeper commitment. Chase and Brett's story begins with plans for an exotic tropical vacation, but their difficult journey takes a tragic turn within ten miles of their house. Their story is fiction, but unfortunately, the events of their story continue with gay lovers all around the world.

Author Biography

TJ spent most of his early years hating to read, and thinking even less of his senior English class. Fortunately, a special teacher insisted he write a fictional short story, a two-page tale about something he found interesting. Instantly, TJ became hooked on the fun of writing fiction. Thankfully, he now reads constantly, going from one book to the next, with several in queue waiting their turn. His favorite part of writing is the crafting of a rough draft. A period in the process when the words fly from the storage center deep in his brain like a movie stuck on fast-forward. The agonizing part begins with the painstaking restructuring, as TJ edits one sentence at a time until he is either happy, or exhausted into believing he is happy with his conclusion. His new release is The Raceboys about a national champion forced to come out as a gay driver. Also available is The Will and Stranded. Coming Soon: TJ is currently polishing "A Writer's Fantasy" about his favorite college sport basketball, as well as his favorite player, and he just finished the rough draft of The Blackfeet Boys.
