Growing up gay isn’t easy. Growing up gay in Knoxville, Tennessee is even harder.
Eighteen-year-old Peter Mandel, a private school senior—class of 1991—is passionate about photography. Peter doesn’t have many friends, preferring to shoot pictures from behind the scenes to keep his homosexuality secret.
Enter Adam Algedi, a charming, worldly new guy who doesn’t do labels, but does want to do Peter. Hardly able to believe gorgeous Adam would want geeky, skinny him of all people, Peter’s swept away on a journey of first love and sexual discovery. But as their mutual web of lies spins tighter and tighter, can Peter find the confidence he needs to make the right choices? And will his crush on Daniel, a college acquaintance, open a new path?
Join Peter in the first book of this four-part coming of age series as he struggles to love and be loved, and grow into a gay man worthy of his own respect.
This new series by Leta Blake is gay fiction with romantic elements.
Book 1 of 4.
These books contain aspects of: New Adult fiction, ‘90s gay life, small city homosexual experiences, Southern biases, sexual exploration, romance, homophobia, bisexuality, and twisted-up young love. Oh, and a guaranteed happy ending for the main character by the end of Book 4.

I loved Pictures of You! Can’t wait for book 2. When? *When?*
Now I’ve kinda got my hopes up about something. I think Peter + Daniel would be a better combination. Just hoping that’s where you’re going with this.
Eliza! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed Pictures of You! I’m so incredibly happy to hear it! This book has been a part of my life for so long and I’m overjoyed for it to be out in the world. As for your speculation… *wicked smile* Well, the second book, You Are Not Me, will be out in November. You can find out more then! 😀
