Electric Soul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732322547)

Joey Mills doesn't know who he wants to be. He isn't even sure who he doesn't. All he knows is that he thinks about it less than other people who try to mold themselves into certain boxes they are convinced they need to fit into. He always fit in just by being himself. Or maybe that is what he trains his brain to believe, that he is who he wants to be, and that people want to be around whoever he is. Thinking about it too much is a dangerous exercise in self-doubt, one he doesn't have the patience to participate in. Why doesn't he tell people he is gay? Why is it off-limits if he truly doesn't worry about what people think of him? Maybe it's time for a change.

Rise Up is a series of new adult novels that illuminates pivotal moments in the lives of LGBTQ youth.

These stories will open your eyes to worlds of possibilities, both conventional and off-beat, as these men take you on their journeys to self-discovery.
