edit data

Welcome, Goodreads readers to my author's profile. Justin Durand is a pen name because, while most people like a romantic story with lots of passion, when it's told by a friend or relative it falls in the category of too much information.
In real life, I’m a gay person who had some challenges early but managed to survive them and find a loving partner for life. Every gay person has a coming out story and everyone who has been in love has a distinct story as well. So here from a complete stranger you have my stories of love, crushes, coming out and surviving all of the above.
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

The World Before Us Coming Soon

The World Before Us opens a few months after twenty-four-year-old Nathan put the brakes on love for one year with a plan to pursue simpler and very erotic experiences. He thought it would head off more heartaches until he could finally grow up. Then, through no fault of his own, the rest of his life fell apart. Now, broke and homeless, Nathan embarks on a summer-long road trip with his grandfather Read more of this blog post »
